About Mount Frere

Mount Frere lies along the N2 in the Eastern Cape's old Transkei hills, linking Kokstad and Mthatha for through traffic. Locals nip along the R56 to Qumbu, Mount Ayliff and Tsolo for day trips, while long-haul drivers passing through to spots like Deneysville or Hartbeespoort should stock up on fuel, since EV charging out here is thin on the ground. Keep an eye out for the colourful rondavels dotting the hillsides, a proper Eastern Cape landmark.
