The Eastern Cape is very accessible. Most of the safari reserves are within a two hour drive from either Port Elizabeth or East London airports.
Regular flights are available from Cape Town and Johannesburg. Self-drive travelers from Cape Town can include an Eastern Cape safari at the beginning or end of their Garden Route itinerary.
Although South Africa has a high-crime rate in particular areas, the frequently visited areas in Cape Town, Garden Route and Eastern Cape are safe and friendly. Be street wise and cautious, as you would be traveling anywhere else in the world. Ask your hosts questions if you are unsure.
