Wild Coast Pondo Walk
For a truly dramatic wilderness experience this is a self drive guided walk with four separate day hikes from your base. This trail is for the nature lover, birding enthusiast and those with an adventurous streak. The terrain is spectacular but fairly strenuous and includes rugged cliff tops, indigenous forests, towering waterfalls and an insight into the lives of the Pondo people. Overnight accommodation is at one resort, Mbotyi River Lodge which is beautifully situated on the coast and hikers walk out daily with a trained local guide.
Amble / Meander Combination
5 nights / 6 days combines the best of both with diverse scenery but excludes the most strenuous stretches.
