Montagu Camino
Experience the Klein Karoo’s Vast Open Space
6 Days 111 km
The Montagu Camino takes you along the open gravel roads of the Klein Karoo. Vast open spaces, fresh air and the smell of Klein Karoo shrubs will transport you mind, to forgotten places.
This could be a detox from the fast-paced city life, technology & time constraints….It could be your gift to yourself ….
a Chance to think clearly & maybe dream again.
Whatever it is you need for yourself, this break away could be that for you.
This adventure promises evenings around the fire, star-filled skies, silences that makes you hear your own heart beat… night sounds of a jackal calling its mate. Visiting four private nature reserves you are bound to encounter wildlife, the area has gemsbok, kudu & eland that are roaming freely as well.
Untouched part of the Klein Karoo, in many senses, you will “see” how people used to live.
Accommodation: camping, a set up campsite with great food and wine.
When last have you watched the sun setting or rising for that matter?
Slack-packing, we will transport your luggage from point A to B and one of Montagu’s well established guides can walk with you.
Your responsibility for the duration of your break-away: getting yourself from point to point….That’s it!
