Explore Baviaans with Ease: Slackpacking Adventures in the Wild
The Baviaanskloof, once only known to a handful of hardy hikers has suddenly become South Africa’s slackpacking darling.

Explore Baviaans with Ease: Slackpacking Adventures in the Wild
The Baviaanskloof, once only known to a handful of hardy hikers has suddenly become South Africa’s slackpacking darling. It’s still remote and rugged, don’t worry about that, but its been blessed with some stunning slackpacking options that have helped to open these wildly beautiful mountains up to a much wider walking public.
The Baviaans is part of a spectacular wilderness landscape in the Eastern Cape. So biodiverse and important that it has World Heritage status. Canyons and kloof, waterfalls, river-walking add to the challenge of these trails To have a comfortable experience in such a wild landscape captures the true essence of slackpacking.
Yes, the terrain can be rough, weather can be unpredictable and distances can be deceptive, but your pack is light and a soft bed awaits you, maybe a little plunge pool, maybe a white sheet, a glass of wine....Accommodation is quaint and rural or specifically designed and purpose built for slackpacking in simple but elegant mountain cabin style.
Wildlife is plentiful. A lonely bark of a baboon high in the cliffs above you. Leopard print announcing itself on the sandy track. Human-impact is minimal and group sizes are limited. A super exciting slackpacking region.
