Caravan Hire in Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha)

PE, or Gqeberha if you're keeping up with the name changes, is seriously underrated as a camper base. Addo Elephant Park is 45 minutes north, the Baviaanskloof is about 2 hours away, and you can reach Tsitsikamma in 90 minutes. It's the Eastern Cape's main city with proper infrastructure, decent beachfront, and Kampi owners who know these roads. If you're doing an Eastern Cape trip, PE is the obvious place to start.

About Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha)

Addo is the big one, 72km north, closest Big Five park to PE. The Sunday's River valley has citrus farms and good birding. N10 west through Humansdorp gets you to Storms River (90 min) and the start of the Garden Route. Go inland on the N10/N9 and you're in the Karoo heading for Graaff-Reinet (220km, 3 hours). The Wild Coast via the N2 east through East London to Port St Johns is a multi-day trip you won't forget. And J-Bay is just 75km west, world-class surfing and solid camping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Port Elizabeth close to Addo?

Very close, 72km north, about 45-50 minutes. Addo Rest Camp has caravan sites with power points and decent ablutions. Book through SANParks early if you're going in peak season, because it fills up fast.

Can I pick up a camper at Port Elizabeth airport?

Kampi isn't a depot at the airport, you're renting from local owners. Most PE owners are within 20-30 minutes of the airport though, so you can sort out a pickup time that works for both of you after booking.

What is the Baviaanskloof like for camping?

Proper wilderness. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site with a 4x4 route through the mountains. Doringhoek campsite has basic facilities, don't expect hot showers. Most of the route needs 4x4 or at least high clearance, so check with your camper owner first.

How far is PE from the Garden Route?

Storms River (Tsitsikamma) is about 180km west, 2 hours on the N2. Plett is 210km (2.5 hours), Knysna 280km (3 hours). The N2 is a good road, handles any caravan.
