Lusikisiki

Named for the sound the wind makes in the reeds, the small and idyllic rural town of Lusikisiki lies 45 kilometres north of Port St Johns, in the gorgeous Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The unspoilt landscapes of lush tropical forests, pristine beaches, and green rolling hills make the town a perfect destination for those seeking an escape from the world’s demands. The wilderness here offers a playground for hiking, mountain biking, canoeing, fishing, and surfing. Relatively untouched by modern civilisation, the historic culture of the AmaMpondo people thrives in its traditional customs and way of life: visitors will see beehive-shaped huts, extraordinary beadwork, and beautiful ornaments, and will experience wonderful hospitality from the community. Make sure to visit the historic lighthouse too.
