ACTIVITIES AROUND KEI MOUTH

The Great Kei is one of the most famous rivers in South Africa. Local legend calls it the door to the ‘Old Transkei’, but it is also well-known for excellent fishing and angling. Whether you are after rock, river or sea fishing, you’ll find it here.

There is also great surf around the area, and the Wild Coast is a paradise for the intrepid explorer.

The Kei Mouth is a unique location where the bird species of the Cape and Kwa-Zulu Natal overlap, so it is excellent birding territory. There is also an abundance of beautiful butterflies and moths.

You can take a ride on the pleasure barge aptly named ‘The Fish Eagle’ where you’ll see an amazing abundance of the Wild Coast's famous bio-diversity as you travel inland up the Great Kei.

For those less nature-inclined there is a 13 hole golf course, tennis, squash, bowling rinks and (full size) snooker table at the nearby country club.

Horse-back rides, romantic or energetic, can be organised with a professionally run horse-riding company in the Kei Mouth town.

There is even an adventure centre that offers paint-ball and abseiling for the insatiable adrenaline junkie!

Or you could just take long walks on the beach and swims in the warm Indian Ocean, followed by sun-downers at the pool, then spend the night any way you choose…
