King Williams Town Mini Guide

What can you Tell me About King Williams Town?
The town has just over a hundred thousand inhabitants and is part of the much bigger metropolis of Buffalo City. Recently, attempts are being made to rename it with an African name to dispense with its current colonial name. It’s a mainly residential and commercial town leaning heavily towards farming although its proximity to the beaches and sights of East London means that it is starting to gain in importance as a tourist base.

What Should I do When in King Williams Town?
King Williams Town is home to the oldest post office in South Africa which was founded by missionaries. It’s still in operation and is worth a visit.
The Amathole Museum in the city centre has an excellent collection including the stuffed remains of a hippopotamus that had travelled south to the town. 
For beaches, the nearest and best ones are found on the coast near East London. White sandy beaches and warm clear seas there attract the majority of Buffalo City’s visitors.
