The South African wildlife alone is enough to visit East London. The area is home to two game reserves which would make car hire in East London ideal. Just over 2 miles north-east of the city, is where the Inkwenkwezi Private Game Reserve is based. The reserve is home to a rare species of white lions which they've kept since they were cubs in 24. The year round temperatures are mild at best, so when hiring a car in East London, take advantage of the coastline whenever you're planning to visit and pack the beach essentials into the car for an easy all day activity with the family.
The South African coastline is of course home to several water sports and there is an endless list of entertainment to take advantage. Surfing, scuba diving and fishing are all popular activities in the area. The East London Zoo is near the city centre, with a playground and a diverse selection of animals and birds; it's just under 15 minutes' drive out of the city. If you rent a car in East London, the option of camping is made easier with your hire car and the Yellow Sands Resort is right by the beach, making it the perfect base.
