MANDELA BAY WITH A<br />

BARGAIN PASS CARD<br />

With so much to do and enjoy in and around Nelson Mandela<br />

Bay – located on the warm coast of South Africa’s Eastern Cape<br />

Province - the city has come up with an innovative pass card<br />

that allows you to do a whole lot more for a whole lot less<br />

money.<br />

The Nelson Mandela Bay Pass is a smartcard that provides<br />

visitors and residents with free or discounted admission to a<br />

variety of attractions and activities in the metro, which includes<br />

the cities of Port Elizabeth, Uitenhage, Despatch and Colchester.<br />

Nelson Mandela Bay Metro is known as one of South Africa’s<br />

premier holiday destinations and an excellent value-for-money<br />

and family-fun-in-the-sun holiday destination, named after<br />

Nelson Mandela, South Africa’s first democratic president,<br />

humanitarian, freedom fighter and a world icon of peace. It<br />

is the only city that can boast of being home to the Big 7 –<br />

elephant, buffalo, rhino, lion, leopard, humpback whale and<br />

the great white shark.<br />

The city has over 40km of golden coastline that includes several<br />

Blue Flag beaches. Port Elizabeth is also known as both the<br />

mohair and bottlenose dolphin capital of the world, and on top<br />

of it all it boasts being home to no fewer than 5 biomes.<br />

Now the best way of exploring this fabulous coastal city, is by<br />

means of the Nelson Mandela Bay Pass Card. The card provides<br />

access to a multitude of attractions and activities at cheaper<br />

rates. For tourists, holidaymakers and residents, it is a passport<br />

to flexibility, convenience, variety and savings.<br />

Included in the pass card offering are entry to museums, game<br />

reserves, scuba diving, art galleries, sightseeing tours and much<br />

more. It also entitles the cardholder to some great discounts<br />

in selected stores for shopping, activities, entertainment and<br />

more.<br />

There are two types of Nelson Mandela Bay Visitors Passes<br />

(packages), namely the 5-in-1 Pass as well as the Unlimited<br />

Access Pass. The pass package you decide to buy will be loaded<br />

onto a smartcard that will give you access according to the type<br />

of pass that has been selected by you.<br />

Here are some of the fun activities you can enjoy with the<br />

and the only giant swing of its kind in South Africa. This is a<br />

family-friendly attraction for anyone in pursuit of sheer fun and<br />
