Hole in the Wall - Transkei
This is a top pick! ... of erosion from the sea. But there is one Catch. The walk to get there is through some of the most beautiful country side in South Africa. The Transkei "rural Africa if you will". We booked our guide (and make sure you bother paying the 15 rand) ...
Leaving Paradise
This is a top pick! Christmas Eve, and lovely for the fact I haven't heard Slade once this year! The cave was as lovely to wake up in as it was to sleep in, and I genuinely didn't want to leave. If I'd known where we would be by sundown, I would probably still be there ...
Christmas Day the Wild Coast Way
This is a top pick! It was the nicest thing. As Lise, Andries and I took over the night shift from Ranel and Riaan, Riaan gave us a hug and said 'Happy Christmas' - so we did the same for Gretha and Casper. It's the small things that can make a difference. I slept so ...
Leopard Prints and Waterfalls
This is a top pick! Yes, they are definitely leopard prints. Cool! Well, it was a lovely, lovely, hanging cave. Let's sleep here! And so it was decided. Today was our 'rest day' - which in best hiking terms, doesn't mean you actually get a rest, but just that ...

Umtata
We drove back to Joburg today and flew from there into Umtata. We had severe thunder and lightening storms and had difficulty landing. It was a very tiny plane and the flight attendant was afraid to fly. She said the fire alarm was going off and kept ...
Transkei and Kwa Zulu Natal
... and busy running away to take any pictures. That pretty much brings us back to Pretoria. We've had a great trip so far. Southern Africa is really beautiful but we can't help but get a little bit of a bad feeling about the place in light of the social ...
This Ain't No 4-wheel Drive
... Ian, the guy who cooked and helped run the Backpackers there, told us of a better, paved route that would take us south of Lesotho through the whole Drakensburg Mountain range. He said there is a great new backpackers at some waterfalls near ...
Margate... ehm, Mthatha?
... voor achten 's avonds, na zo'n 11 uur in de auto, aankomen bij de hoofdstad van 'The Wild Coast'. Mthatha (of Umtata, afhankelijk van je kaart en taal-oorsprong. De originele is waarschijnlijk Zulu. We hadden hier al vooruit gebeld naar een backpackers ...
Backpacking around the Transkie
Backpacking in South Africa 20/04/07 This ‘backpackers paradise’ is full of holiday makers, hippys, stoners and surfers. It’s relaxed and organised, with everything being put on tabs with which I’ll ...
Umtata
Been on a short outreach to Umtata in the Transkei here in South Africa. We run a DFS (Discipleship Foundation Seminar) which is kinda of many DTS. There were 26 Xhosa young people that came in. It was an awesome ...
