The town of Cradock in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa is a serene but typical Karoo farming town. As the capital of the Karoo Heartland, Cradock produces some of the best wool in the country. The town is best known for its natural sulphur spring, which is now the source of its modern spa, famously known for its indoor and outdoor natural pools. Cradock's Great Fish River annually hosts the biggest canoe marathon in the country and offers incredible paddling and tubing all year round. Known for its architectural and historical culture, the constant bustle of the town is what truly makes it one of a kind.
The Eastern Cape's Greater Addo Region is primarily dominated by South Africa's third-largest national park, Addo Elephant Park. This malaria-free region offers the famous Big 5, and due to its enormous expansions towards the ocean, now includes a marine section with seasonal whales and sharks. An incredible variety of fauna and flora are found within the area - from the dry karoo basin to the subtropical forests and grasslands. The region of Greater Addo has a vast amount of rich biodiversity and remains largely unexplored, and it's in the mystery that leaves people wanting more.
