- Addo Elephant National Park is less than 40 minutes’ drive from Port Elizabeth. As one of the top five largest national parks in the country, it boasts a great variety of animals in their natural habitat.
- The Mountain Zebra National Park in the Cradock area with its sunny skies, open plains and, of-course, the beautiful Cape mountain zebras.
- The Boardwalk Casino and Entertainment world in Port Elizabeth is known for all sorts of entertainment, live shows, and gaming, as well as their 5-star luxury accommodation.

Ensure the accommodation you book is large enough for your family. Being crammed into a too-small unit will inevitably lead to sleepless nights and lots of frustration. It might be a good idea for the teenagers to have a separate bedroom. If at all possible, consider booking a separate unit for them next door to yours – with their own TV and bathroom. Toddlers and small children are a different matter. You probably want them in the same unit to keep a wary eye. Booking open-plan accommodation where the whole family sleeps in one sleep area might be the key to a good night’s rest.
