The charming Karoo town, Cradock, is flanked by the majestic Bankberg Mountains and the fast-flowing Fish River. It is a great base from which to explore the nearby Mountain Zebra National Park, where popular activities include birding, cheetah tracking and game drives to view 3 of the Big 5, amongst other African wildlife.
Established in 1814, Cradock is a place of literary legends, war heroes and anti-Apartheid icons. However, it is best known for street level, day-to-day warmth and kindness – so typical of much of the Eastern Cape. History enthusiasts can spend time discovering the historically rich surroundings.
