• 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.

Hole in the Wall

This famous rock formation forms a perfect arch and is a spectacular sight. The surrounding area is undeveloped, the scenery exquisite, the coastline wild and the people warm. There is a basic shop – otherwise it’s rural Africa.
