• Chintsa-East

    Chintsa is supposedly named after the "crumbling" banks of its river during floods, the small town of Cintsa is split into two by the river and as it's one of the last towns before the Wild Coast starts, it already has some of the Wild Coast feel and beaches that run for miles and miles. We think that it's a lovely stop.

MbotyiEC

A wild gem on the wild coast.


Wend your way through tea plantations, remote villages and indigenous forests past the site of the Magwa Falls (which plunges 142m into a narrow gorge below) towards the coastline where wrecks lie scattered on the ocean floor. The broad winged crowned eagle (the only forest dwelling eagle in the country) lives in these forests and the three-step cascade of Fraser Falls lies close to the Mbotyi road.
