Three picturesque fishing villages, a rugged coastline, sand dunes as far as the eye can see, a tidal river, protected fynbos, wetlands and a visit to South Africa’s only privately owned working harbour. These are some of the ingredients that make up the Chokka Trail, a 56km slack packing trail between Oyster Bay, St Francis Bay and Cape St Francis.

This is the best possible way to see and experience just how beautiful the Kouga Region and in particular the greater St Francis is – on foot, at your own pace and with overnight accommodation at guesthouses and a Resort.

Since the original Chokka Trail was launched in October 2013, hundreds of hikers successfully complete this 4 day/3 night hiking holiday each year – what else do you expect from a trail that is fully catered for, guided (day 2 and 3) and each day finished off with a home cooked meal, hot shower and comfortable bed?
