Nanaga in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, is a little location of the famous interchange where the N2 and N10 National Routes intersect with the R72 Provincial Route, centered around the iconic Nanaga Farm Stall.
Not only is Nanaga virtually just outside the Greater Addo Elephant Park, but it is also a short drive from the Sunshine Coast and other malaria-free safari game reserves.
Nanaga is a must-stop for travelers for its legendary pies (especially lamb and mint), fresh roosterkoek, pineapple juice, local produce, deli items, and farm atmosphere with family-friendly amenities like play areas, making it a gateway to the Sunshine Coast.
Nanaga falls within the Sundays River Valley Local Municipality and the Sarah Baartman District Municipality.
Just where the name Nanaga comes from is not very well documented.
Nanaga is the country of the dairy farmer and a wildlife game farm. Rolling hills provide numerous hikes, and the Alexandria forest trail is just outside the town.
The Alexandria Dune Fields, close to the nearby village of Colchester, stretch for 50 kilometres and provide one of the most beautiful and scenic, as well as the largest, coastal dunefields in the southern hemisphere. The Nukakamma Canoe trail – the two-day trail that starts and ends in Cannonville – ventures along the green and grassy banks of the Sundays River and allows one some fantastic sightings of wonderful birds, such as African fish eagles, as well as otters, leguaans, and buck.
