Cintsa / Chintsa Holidays - Eastern Cape Tourism Cintsa, Eastern Cape, offers visitors the treat of a lifetime between July and September, when the Southern Right Whale can be sighted along the Eastern Cape coast. Also not to be missed is the unique and unexplained phenomenon of the annual 'Sardine Run,' generally around June. This is when the Eastern Cape coast comes to life with an energetic buzz as the tiny silver fish beach. Considered to be the greatest shoal on earth, these billions of fish bring with them numerous larger game fish, dolphins, sharks, seals, whales and a variety of birdlife seeking an easy meal, making Chintsa's annual ocean extravaganza undoubtedly one of the most spectacular Eastern Cape marine events. For an experience of another kind, go game viewing just 8km away from Chintsa East, the Inkwenkwezi Game Reserve is home to the Big Five and a variety of antelope, as well as giraffe and zebra. This magnificent Eastern Cape reserve is also where you can enjoy a 'once in a lifetime' elephant back safari. When you’re not horse riding on the Cintsa beach, or taking long walks along the surf-line, go eat at the Chintsa Country Bumpkin Restaurant, where you can experience the true essence of Eastern Cape hospitality in a rustic yet chic, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. For traditional home-style African food, Emthombeni Restaurant will feed you with delicious flavourful meals made from the freshest ingredients. For the beer lover, visit the Chintsa Emerald Vale Brewery (Cintsa), where you can sample beer made using rain water and all natural ingredients.
