Eastern Cape - Slackpacking

Slackpacking in the Eastern Cape offers a magical adventure without the hard work. Picture yourself hiking across pristine beaches, flanked by the Indian Ocean on one side and golden dune fields on the other, while your trusty gear is magically whisked away to your next cosy stop. Welcome to the world of slackpacking!

The Eastern Cape offers world class slackpacking experiences along the coast and inland. The Baviaanskloof – a hidden gem in this enchanting region- is a rugged mountainous wilderness which was previously quite tough to explore. Since opportunities for trekking without your house on your back was introduced, more and more people are gaining access to this very special area.

In the Eastern Cape, slackpacking means you get the best of both worlds: epic hikes without the back-breaking baggage. At the end of the day, you’ll rest in charming guesthouses or gorgeous eco-cabins, enjoying hearty local meals and sharing tales with fellow adventurers. So, lace up your boots (or take them off in the case of beach walking) and let the Eastern Cape’s slackpacking trails tempt you deeper into the wilds then you’ve ever been before!
