				The villages of Colchester and Cannonville are nestled on the 
				banks of the beautiful Sundays River, a few kilometres from the 
				river mouth where it flows into the Indian Ocean through the 
				majestic and world-renowned Coastal Dune Fields. Only 40 km from 
				Port Elizabeth, this small community boasts a wide selection of 
				accommodation and is the closest point of entry (five km’s) into 
				the Greater Addo Elephant National Park Southern Gate. 
				
				The Sunday's River is a MUST SEE, and first on one’s list 
				should be to experience an excursion on a river ferry which will 
				transport guests to the river mouth, as well as up river for 6 – 
				12 km. Visitors can entertain themselves as the river is 
				particularly well know for its excellent estuarine fishing and 
				abundant bird life while water-sports are superb and includes 
				almost all water disciplines. A host of guest houses, bed & 
				breakfasts and camp sites near the river provide visitors with 
				activities like swimming, canoeing, fishing and ferry rides.
				
				Where it flows – bolstered by the waters of the Great Fish 
				River - from the Darlington Dam towards the coastal village of 
				Colchester, where it meets the Indian Ocean. 
				
				On this leg of its journey, the Sundays River nourishes a 
				magical part of South Africa: Greater Addo and the dreamy 
				Sundays River Valley. Here, the Khoisan called it 
				'Nukakanna' - 'grassy water'.
				
				The Addo Elephant National Park is your first stop where, at 
				sunset, you can watch the great grey beasts drinking at Hap Oor 
				Dam. If you stay in the park itself, you’ll be able to get those 
				dawn shots that make wildlife photography so special.
				Should you be travelling in the area during October, the 
				fragrance of orange blossoms will be everywhere.
				
				There’s a lookout over the Sundays River Valley and its 
				vastness of citrus where one can pay respects to James Percy 
				FitzPatrick, the pioneer-author who lies buried here and who 
				wrote the South African classic, Jock of the Bushveld.
				
				It is said of Sir Percy, founder of the Sundays River Valley 
				Scheme: 'He imagined rain in the Karoo watering the oranges that 
				would be served at an English breakfast table.'
				
				Nearby is the little town of Kirkwood, which hosts an annual 
				wildlife festival which can also involve the competitive 
				spitting of kudu droppings, a kitty show and arguably the best
				boerewors (sausage) in the world.
				
				Top off your Sundays River Valley journey with a 
				bird-watching cruise from Colchester to the nearby dunefields.
