What makes the Eastern Cape different than the rest of the Provinces?

---

The Eastern Cape is the second largest province in South Africa. The Eastern Cape landscapes cover anything from the dry and desolate of the Great Karoo all the way to lush forests of the Wild Coast including the Keiskamma Valley.

The Eastern Cape is the only province of the 9 provinces that have the three global biodiversity hotspots of South Africa. These hotspots are the Cape Floristic Region, the Succulent Karoo and last but certainly not least the Maputoland-Pondoland-Albany. No other province can make this claim, this makes the Eastern Cape special and unique.

The shoreline of the Eastern Cape province extends from the Umtamvuna River in KwaZulu-Natal (known as Natal) all the way to the Mouth of the Storms River located along the Garden Route. Once again, no other province in South Africa can make this claim.
