Pondoland 4-Day/5-Night Boutique Slack-pack Hikes and Trail Run

Prepare to be enchanted by the raw, untouched beauty of Pondoland, a hidden gem along South Africa’s famed Wild Coast. Here, rivers tumble straight into the sea, cattle stroll along empty beaches, and traditional life carries on amidst some of the country’s most dramatic coastal scenery. This is a place where time slows, senses awaken, and nature reigns supreme.

Join Trisport for the Pondo Boutique Slackpack Hike or Trail run — through the heart of this spectacular region. Trisport stands apart in Pondoland hiking with a luxurious 4-night stay in en-suite lodges and only 1 night in a tented camp, a rare level of comfort. With over 15 years in Pondoland, we bring deep local knowledge and relationships, and we directly fund lodge/tented camp development with Sikha, the local guide and Manteku resident. Owners Hano and Sonja Otto are hands-on, personally investing in the trip and the community. Expect warm hospitality and journeys that forge lifelong friendships, and a truly pampered experience as you explore Pondoland’s beauty. If you want a Pondoland hike where the owners, Sonja and Hano, genuinely care for you and elevate the hike, choose Trisport.

Follow winding cattle tracks that hug the edge of towering cliffs, gaze down on waves crashing into sea-carved rock, and meander through charming fishing villages steeped in local culture and tradition.

Each day’s hike, or run, offers new terrain and unforgettable views, while every evening brings the comfort of carefully selected coastal lodges — where warm hospitality, private en-suite bathrooms (on all but one night), and the sound of the ocean provide the perfect end to a day on the trail. One magical night is spent in a beautifully appointed tented camp, nestled in indigenous forest with sweeping views of the sea — a rare blend of immersion and indulgence.

Along the way, delight in freshly prepared seafood feasts, and soak in the rich cultural rhythms of the Wild Coast. With its balance of luxury, adventure, and authenticity, the Pondo Hike is more than just a trail — it’s a deep dive into one of South Africa’s last true wildernesses.

This is coastal hiking or running at its finest — wild, wondrous, and completely unforgettable.
