๐ฅพTHE KOGELBERG NATURE TRAIL ๐
Days / 5 Nights / 73 km
๐๐ป Our third season is opening on 31 October and starts every Monday and Tuesday until 31 May! This is the best Summer hike in South Africa ๐ฟ๐ฆ
The Kogelberg Nature Trail (aka Kogelberg Camino)takes you through:
๐Six unique nature reserves
๐Across rivers and estuaries,
๐Along pristine beaches,
๐Meandering on coastal paths,
๐Under the canopy of an indigenous forest,
๐Alongside waterfalls
๐To the summits of two mountain peaks โ offering spectacular 360ยบ views.
All of this is the Kogelberg Biosphere. The heart of the Cape Floral Region with over 1880 species of Fynbos.
๐๐ป BOOKINGS FOR THIS SUMMER SEASON ARE OPEN!๐
๐ What is unique about the Kogelberg Nature Trail?
Walking on roads is not our thing โฆ. so itโs taken us three years to put this trail together to ensure that you only hike 1km on gravel and about 100m on tar. The Kogelberg is a Biodiversity hotspot and home to endangered species including the Cape rock-jumper and geometric tortoise. It holds a deep historical connection to the Koi and San people, is a Unesco World Heritage site due to its incredible ecological importance and rich bio diversity and home to the Rooisand Wild Horses.
๐ The scenery:
We are absolutely awe-struck by the beauty and magnificence of this area which we are lucky enough to call home. We refer to it as โTHE MIGHTY KOGELBERGโ for that it sure is!
๐ Sustainability:
The Kogelberg is an eco-tourism destination and Wild Wellness is a proud partner of the Kogelberg Biosphere.
๐ Price: This depends on the accommodation that you choose: Shared homes, private en-suite or luxury.
๐ Includes:
Transfer of your luggage between homes, breakfasts, dinners, accommodation, guides and drinks.
๐๐ป Come Join Us.
We welcome solo travellers, families big and small groups.

This is luxurious slack-packing at itโs best
Carrying a backpack with all my clothing and bedding and food and a tent is amazing and Iโm really glad Iโve done it lots.
But there is a certain pleasure in just carrying a light day-pack and having everything else expertly done for you.
Oh, I nearly forgot to mentionโฆ. This is the best land-based whale-watching walk in the universe.

This is a 5 day / 4 night / 53 km slack-packing walk that starts daily between 12 August and 12 November. See the comments below for the current available dates in 2024. Bookings are also open for 2025.
Over the past two and a half years, our dedicated team has meticulously curated the finest walking routes, studied the history and culture of the area and secured beautiful accommodation in prime locations โ varying from backpackers to shared homes to private en-suite.

Our hikers watching the electric storm that ripped through Hermanus pass them by from the inside a sea cave - the previous home of the 'Standlopers' (Beach walkers).
What an incredible experience with nature along the Cape Whale Coast while on our 6 day, slack packing hike.
