Information

Port Elizabeth - What to do

Enjoy the sea views by the coast or venture out of town to spot an elephant or two, it's all possible in Port Elizabeth

Fort Frederick

Fort Frederick, which is located along Belmont Terrace, is a stone fort built in 1799 by the British Forces to defend the mouth of the Baakens River. It was named after Frederick, Duke of York, and was built by troops sent to Algoa Bay to prevent a possible landing of French troops to assist the Graaff-Reinet rebels.

Ironically, no shot was ever fired in anger from the Fort. The Fort, containing a powder magazine and a guardhouse, was originally defended by eight 12-powder guns. A place defiantly worth a visit if your keen on your history.

Addo Elephant National Park

The park is located about 1 hour's drive north of Port Elizabeth, however, the park is well worth the journey. During the 1800’s most elephants were hunted almost to the point of extinction in the Cape, not only for their ivory but also because they were regarded as a hazard to crops and buildings.

In 1931, Addo Elephant Reserve was created when there were just 12 animals left. Now there are around 350, together with amongst others black rhino, Cape buffalo, zebra, warthog, eland, bushbuck and hartebeest. Similar to a safari park in England, the Elephant National Park lets you get right up close to the fascinating animals, while they go about there day-to-day business.

Donkin Reserve and Lighthouse Building

The Donkin Reserve, located off Belmont Terrace Central, and overlooking the city, was proclaimed an open space by Sir Rufane Donkin. It includes a Stone Pyramid Monument with a touching inscription erected by Sir Rufane Donkin in memory of his late wife, Elizabeth, after whom the city was named, as well as palm-lined walkways and benches.

The Lighthouse, which was built in 1861, also houses Tourism Port Elizabeth, the official Tourist Information Centre.

Bayworld Museum Complex

Bayworld, one of Port Elizabeth's major tourist attractions, is situated along Marine Drive on the beachfront at Humewood and comprises the Museum, Oceanarium, Snake Park as well as Number 7 Castle Hill Museum. At the Oceanarium the popular dolphin and seal presentations take place daily.

Exhibits within the Oceanarium include an underwater observation area in the aquarium, a dolphin research centre, various smaller tanks for different species of bony fish, as well as two larger tanks housing sharks and stingrays.
