THE TSITSIKAMMA HIKING TRAIL

BRIEF OVERVIEW

The trail is beautiful and takes you through pristine indigenous forest areas and mountain fynbos, with amazing views.

The trail is relatively tough, due to the time on your feet but there is a ‘slack packing’ porterage option available, should you want your heavy overnight packs delivered to each hut. This will free you up to carry those luxury accessories like binoculars, bigger cameras and field guide books.

Although some sections will take you across the Outeniqua Mountains, there are no technical sections where you will need rope and mountaineering equipment.

There are overnight huts at each stop, with flushing toilets and clever hot water bucket shower systems. All have excellent covered braai/BBQ areas with wood and an axe.

Rainwater tanks provide drinking water at the huts, but if you prefer to be safe, take water purification tablets with you. You can also fill up from the many small river crossings en route. Cell phone signal is patchy along the way.

Slackpacking is available and can be arranged direct with Cape Pine by calling +27 (0) 42 2811 712, nadia@capepine.co.za or graeme@capepine.co.za.

Use the menu on the right to find out what each day has in store for you.
