The Eastern Cape is one of the nine provinces of South Africa. It is located in the southeast of the country, bordering Lesotho and the Western Cape to the west, KwaZulu-Natal to the north, and the Indian Ocean to the east. The capital of the Eastern Cape is Bhisho, but its two largest cities are East London and Gqeberha.

The Eastern Cape is a land of contrasts, with a diverse landscape ranging from the rolling hills of the Karoo to the lush forests of the Amatola Mountains. The province is also home to a variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, and rhinos.
