Stay Here

WE STAYED ONLY IN HOMESTAYS and found the accommodat­ion to be simple but superb. Although there are no frills (you’ll share a hut with your whole group; toilets are long-drops and you’ll need to bathe from a bucket), the host families take great care and pride in making sure guests are comfortabl­e. Breakfasts and dinners are hearty, with most ingredient­s grown in the hosts’ gardens. From R450 to R500 per person per night, including all meals. Book through map.wildcoastz­a.co.za

Do this

WILDCOASTZ­A’S INTERACTIV­E MAP allows you to “look” around the area (which is brilliant for helping to plan your trip) and take a 360-degree tour of the coastline’s hotels and homestays. You can also see the region’s attraction­s, and connect directly with the guides who’ll help you get there. To truly immerse yourself in all the Wild Coast has to offer, travelling with a guide is invaluable, and having the opportunit­y to learn more about the flora, fauna and culture of the Wild Coast will take your trip to the next level. Guide rates are about R500 to R750 a day; senior guides charge about R1 000 a day. To book a guide, visit map.wildcoastz­a.co.za
