Mossel Bay is a harbour town of about 170,000 people on the Garden Route of South Africa. It is an important tourism and farming region of the Western Cape Province. Mossel Bay lies 400 kilometres east of the country's seat of parliament, Cape Town, and 400 km west of Gqeberha, the largest city in the Eastern Cape. The older parts of the town occupy the north-facing side of the Cape St Blaize Peninsula, whilst the newer suburbs straddle the Peninsula and have spread eastwards along the sandy shore of the Bay.

Nestled between the Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean, Mossel Bay offers breathtaking views and a range of exciting activities for you to enjoy. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, this locality has something for everyone.

One of the most popular attractions in Mossel Bay is the Diaz Museum Complex, which celebrates the Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias’ landing in South Africa in 1488. You can explore the museum, which houses a replica of Dias’ ship, the Caravel, and learn about the history of the town.
