Grahamstown is one of South Africa’s most thriving cities. It is home to culture, art and industry. Visitors will want to see the Observatory Museum and enjoy the goings on a Rhodes University

one of South Africa’s best educational facilities. Each year Grahamstown is home to two major festivals. The first is the National Arts Festival, which takes place in June and July, and is Africa’s largest art festival. The second is the Sci Fest Africa, which takes place in the spring. If you visit during either of these festivals, the town will be festive, but hotels in Grahamstown, South Africa may be scarce.
