Otter Trail (South Africa)

Rugged Beauty

This 5-day trek is one of the most beautiful and acclaimed in South Africa, with exquisite views of the Eastern Cape. We'll be hiking at a very moderate pace, taking our time as we ford rivers, swim in tidal pools, and (with luck!) see monkeys, baboons, antelope and a rich variety of birdlife along the way. Accommodation is in unserviced huts, so we'll need to carry our own bedding and food. Shabbat will be in Nature's Valley, a lovely small settlement at the western end of the Tsitsikamma Coastal National Park. We complete our journey with an unforgettable 2-day safari.
