Visit a Local Town – Grahamstown

Grahamstown forms part of the popular Frontier Country route – so named because it was literally the 19th century frontier between the British Cape Colony and the Xhosa territories.  It was the scene of first contact, cultural clashes, confusion and, inevitably, conflict.

Much of what happened here set the tone for South Africa’s turbulent multi-cultural history.

There are also good restaurants in Grahamstown to enjoy some local food.
