Slackpacking in Gqeberha, South Africa.
The Eastern Cape has some of the best slack packing options in South Africa and Gqeberha is the gateway to most of them. Besides the beautiful coastline whose long firm beaches provide a spectacular natural walkway, it is also an ecologically interesting area where 7 different biomes meet. The spectacular Alexandria Dune Field, coastal forest, game rich thickets and parcels of fynbos (Gqeberha is the South Eastern most edge of the Cape Floristic Kingdom) all ensure walks of great beauty and diversity.
Gqeberha slack packing operators will take all the stress out of your trip- all you do is walk and they do the rest. There are various levels of support. A fully supported slack packing trip provides a qualified and specialised guide for the area and accommodation and catering is all laid on. Most importantly, guest’s luggage is transported from each overnight stop to the next. There are also options to have your luggage transported but to hike and cater for yourselves.
