Experience FAQ

Q01Why walk instead of drive?

The path reveals the inhabited coast between the two places: grazing land, beaches, villages and river mouths that a road approach misses.

Q02Is a local guide necessary?

Yes for this journey. The route crosses community land and changing coastal conditions where local knowledge and permission matter.

Plan with Alex

Travel from Johannesburg into wildlife country, follow the warm coast toward the Cape, or let spring flowers lead you north into the Kalahari.

We begin with the part of South Africa you most want to feel, then give the country enough time to change around you.
