The little town named after the oldest town in the United Kingdom apparently rose to challenge Port Elizabeth as a port about a century ago. Lying on the banks of the Sundays River, just a 20-minute drive from the coast of Port Elizabeth, lies Colchester in a part of the country that remains largely unspoilt, surrounded by dunes that date back about 100,000 years. The dunes are estimated to be between 6000 and 10,000 years old and rest upon even older, compacted dunes that could date back as many as 100,000 years. The dunes are teeming with wildlife - bushbuck, grysbok, bush pig, and smaller animals like mice, meerkats, and mongooses, which make these beautiful hills made of sand their home. Birders include Colchester in their itinerary and river cruises along the Sundays River reveal a wide variety of waders, herons, ducks, colonies of Cape and masked weavers, and up to four different types of kingfisher.
