PORT ST JOHNS
Port St Johns is a village of legend on the Pondo side of the Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape. It is also one of the highlights on any international backpacker’s world itinerary because of its natural setting and atmosphere of adventure. Situated on the Umzimvubu River, which is Xhosa for ‘hippo’, the famed Gates of St Johns, Mounts Thesiger and Sullivan flanks either side of the river. The great beaches, excellent fishing and a pleasant atmosphere have made this coastal village a hotspot for young tourists looking for an adventure on the wild side of Africa.
The region is prime hiking country, full of forests and trails and more than 250 species of birds have been recorded. Canoe trips, horse trails, dolphin or whale watching and golf are all leisure options regularly exercised in Port St Johns. For the cultural tourist the choices range from shopping for reedware or quality fabrics or taking guided tours to neighbouring Pondo villages to meet the locals.
The backpacker facilities in this African village are excellent, catering for couples, solo travellers and small groups of young people, helping their guests set up activity itineraries everyday, ranging from jungle swings to unusual walking destinations.
