Komga is largely a cattle farming area set in the gentle, rolling hills of the Amatole district small. This small village is easily accessible from East London - about 65 kilometres away - and Stutterheim - about 55 kilometres away. The word "Komga" means a 'piece of clay'.

It has one of the oldest schools in the Eastern Cape, called Komga Junior School as well as St. Paul's Anglican church which is a national heritage site. Originally it consisted of the knave only but the chancel was added in 1880 and the church was consecrated on June 13, 1866.

For nature lovers, this area has a large range of bird species that will keep you busy and ecotourists will also feel very at home here.
