Slackpacking in the Northern Cape

Hike, Relax, Repeat

Escape into the vast, rugged beauty of the Northern Cape with a slackpacking adventure – the perfect way to explore without carrying the weight of camping gear. Hike scenic trails during the day, surrounded by the region’s unique flora, open plains, and dramatic landscapes, then unwind each evening in comfortable lodges or welcoming B&Bs.

Slackpacking combines the best of hiking and comfort. Walk multi-day trails at your own pace, taking in the serene wilderness, spotting wildlife, and breathing in the crisp Northern Cape air. After a day on the trail, return to a cosy bed, enjoy a hearty meal, and relax by a crackling fire as the African sky fills with stars – moments that make each day feel truly special.

This adventure is ideal for those who want to immerse themselves in nature without the burden of carrying heavy packs. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or looking for a slower, more reflective way to experience the Northern Cape, slackpacking offers the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.

Rediscover the joy of walking, the beauty of the wilderness, and the comfort of a warm bed at night – slackpacking in the Northern Cape is an unforgettable way to connect with South Africa’s great outdoors.
