Butterworth

Lying north of the Great Kei River on the Eastern Cape’s scenic Wild Coast, Butterworth is famous for its two mighty waterfalls, the spectacular Gcuwa Falls and the dramatic 100-metre-drop of the Bowa Falls. Adventure-and animal-lovers will delight in the Wild Coast Horseback Safaris, which offer magnificent rides along broad white beaches, the river, and rolling green hills. The rich culture of the Xhosa community flourishes here, and the people are known for their friendliness, so visitors may be able to learn about their customs and way of life. Another way to learn about the area and culture simultaneously is by taking the stunning five-day Wild Coast Meander Trail, which is lead by a Xhosa guide who tells stories and fun facts along the way. Make sure to play a game or two at the spectacular Butterworth Country Club.
