Keiskamma River and the Ecca Pass - The Keiskamma river originates in the Amatola mountains and flows through a wide thicket-clad valley to the sea south of East London. The Ecca pass descends steeply into the Fish River valley east of Grahamstown. It has a unique succulent thicket vegetation with a number of rare endemic species. A nature reserve has been established at the top of the pass.
