Transkei

About Transkei

When driving towards the Transkei, it almost seems as if you are entering another Country. Whereas en route to Transkei you will travel through towns and cities much like any other in SA, when you get there these bastions of civilization are few and far between, with miles and miles of lush, unspoiled greenfields and countless aloes lining the hills and valleys of this beautiful area instead. Transkei retains a sense of difference and otherness, despite its reintegration into South Africa. Still dotted here and therewith traditional Xhosa rondavel kraals perched precariously on the slopes of the perpetually misty mountains and herdsman still to be seen watching the herds of cattle that symbolize wealth here, the Transkei can seem like a land lost in time!
