Ideas for East London, South Africa

We are stopping in East London and I would love to know of any guides anyone would recommend and also, any ideas to do on our own.

Thanks so much.

We had a stop there last May and we were told that all the guides and buses used for tours had to be brought in from other areas and had to spend the night prior to the tour in East London. This might just mean though, that there weren't enough local people to cater for the ship.

However, we were there on a Sunday and the small town was closed down but there was a shuttle service to a pleasant mall nearby. Normally we wouldn't favour a mall over a tour, but as we hadn't booked anything, there wasn't much choice. The port is only small and I don't recall seeing any taxis either.

Hopefully, someone else can offer you some assistance.

Good luck and enjoy your cruise.

Thanks. I was afraid that might be the case.
