The Fynbos Trail

Option 1 - Full slackpacking  

Be introduced to this paradise by an expert field guide who will chaperone you along the trail for three highly educational days. You will overnight at the fully equipped Fynbos Retreat and Witkrans, with delicious dinners, lunches and breakfasts prepared for you using locally sourced produce. Enjoy a tasting of locally produced Lomond wines while at Witkrans on your second night. A memorable moment is created at the Stinkhoutsbos Forest where you will plant your very own GPS-marked indigenous tree. Your final lunch will be enjoyed at the superb five star Garden Lodge, at the internationally acclaimed Grootbos Nature Reserve. While some drinks are included, such as fruit juice with dinner, you are also welcome to bring along your own selection, which will be transported to your overnight accommodation and chilled, ready for your arrival. On completion of the trail, you will receive a fynbos gift to remind you of your adventure. All luggage transfers to and from the car are included.
