Paddling near Qonce, Eastern Cape

Qonce (King William's Town) sits in the Eastern Cape, a province known for its network of coastal and inland rivers. The Buffalo River runs close to the city itself, while the Kwelera and Nahoon rivers are among the more accessible paddling waters in the broader region. The Eastern Cape's relatively unexplored rivers make it a rewarding area for recreational canoeists and kayakers seeking quieter water away from the country's more publicised routes.
