HAGA HAGA – DISCOVER OUR REMARKABLE WILD COAST VILLAGE<\/h4>\n

Haga Haga, a mere 2 km from OppiePlaas Country Estate, is a quaint holiday village along the coveted Eastern Cape Wild Coast. It is renowned for its tranquillity and natural beauty.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the villagers told me that when he returned from a long beach walk with his dog, their footprints were still the only ones in the sand \u2013 that\u2019s how remote the charming, unspoiled village of Haga Haga is.\u201d (Extract\u00a0from a recent magazine article.)<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Haga Haga has a safe swimming beach along the warm waters of the Indian Ocean and a beautiful lagoon. Try your luck at rock and surf fishing while your children collect shells or play in the protected\u00a0waters of the lagoon. Fancy some golf, a game of tennis or exploring the area on horseback? No problem! These activities too, and more, are available.<\/span><\/p>\n

A nature lover’s paradise<\/span><\/h6>\n

The village and its immediate surrounds is a declared nature and marine conservancy owing to an abundance of indigenous fauna and flora species. These include, amongst others, the Cape Clawless Otter and the Blue Duiker, Millwood trees, Wild Irises, Gladiolus, Hibiscus and Orchids. More than 300 indigenous wildflower species have been positively identified and many more still requires identification.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re a birdwatcher, then you’ll be fascinated by the abundance of\u00a0bird life which includes Narina Trogons, Long Crested Eagles, Fish Eagles, Forest Weavers and Woodpeckers, African Black Oyster Catchers, Water Dikkops, Greenshanks, Kingfishers and many Plover species.<\/span><\/p>\n

See the whales that visit Haga Haga from July to early December and share in the excitement of dolphin-spotting in the azure East Coast waters. <\/span><\/p>\n

Put on you hiking boots and explore the various hiking trails that traverse the conservancy – the Krantz Garden Walk<\/em> to Pullins Bay, the Otter Creek Walk<\/em> and walks to Whale Point<\/em> and Lagoon Look-Out<\/em>. Tackle the 10 km trail along the beach to Double Mouth<\/em> where you can collect pieces of Ming China and carnelian beads washed up from a sunken ship.<\/span><\/p>\n
