Slackpacking on the Wild Coast of South Africa.

South Africa's Wild Coast seems made for slackpacking adventures. The endless unspoilt coastline stretching from the Eastern Cape to KwaZulu-Natal is dotted with welcoming guest lodges and small family run hotels perfect for overnight stays. A treasure trove of unspoiled beaches, dramatic cliffs, and lush green hills all blended with a refreshing splash of cultural richness awaits the hiker.

 As you hike, your overnight gear is transported for you, allowing you to enjoy the journey with just a daypack.

The Wild Coast is famous for its vibrant Xhosa culture. Along the way, you'll encounter the welcoming local communities eager to share their traditions and stories. You’re just as likely to be greeted by one of their friendly natured Nguni cows who also enjoy a stroll on the beach.

Picture yourself walking along golden sands, crossing clear rivers, and spotting dolphins frolicking in the surf. Each day ends in comfortable lodgings, where you can savour fresh, local cuisine and the warm hospitality of your hosts.

From exploring hidden waterfalls to discovering ancient shipwrecks, slackpacking on the Wild Coast is an adventure that promises breathtaking scenery, cultural immersion, and the joy of carefree hiking.
