Slackpacking in East London, South Africa.

East London (Buffalo City) is a well-known springboard to excellent slackpacking (Hiking Trails). Rich unspoilt natural beauty, perfect weather, the presence of rural Xhosa culture and the wonderfully welcoming, often family run, hotels and lodges that are encountered en route deliver conditions for ideal slackpacking.

You can expect to walk along extensive stretches of deserted sandy beaches, punctuate by rocky zones where exquisite rock pools will stop you in your tracks. These pools make for safe swimming and exploration of the colourful array of marine flora and fauna that inhabit them. You’ll pass shipwrecks and whalebones and other relics of history and climb gentle green hills where clusters of thatch rondawels and sleepy cows announce the presence of Xhosa villages. Thick vine covered indigenous forests hide shy creatures and placid estuaries give more opportunity for swimming.

East London slackpacking operators can assist you with organising your own self-guided adventure or you can book a fully guided experience.
