Haga Haga is a village on the Eastern Cape Wild Coast of South Africa, 60 km east of East London.[2]

Hagahaga originates from the word 'haga' which is the number four in Khoikhoi with 'hagahaga' meaning to make to four.

The village has been declared a conservancy owing to a number of rare indigenous species found in the area, such as the Cape clawless otter and the blue duiker.[3]
