Port Elizabeth Shore Excursion: Half Day City Tour including SAMREC
Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Trip Type: Ports of Call Tours
Duration: 5 hours
Enjoy a half day city tour of Port Elizabeth and experience some of the many wonderful sights and sounds this city has to offer. The tour also includes a visit to SAMREC in the Cape Recife Nature Reserve. In 2000, the South African Marine Rehabilitation and Education Centre (SAMREC) – a non-profit organisation – was formed mainly to care for sick or injured African penguins because of their vulnerability; now we see our work as vital, particularly since St Croix Island in our bay is now the biggest breeding colony in the world. SAMREC is open from 9:30am to 3:30pm every day except for Christmas and New Year weekends.
