Pondoland: Wild Coast, South Africa.
The Wild Coast, in the Eastern Cape, is a remote strip of coastline, which reaches from the Mtamvuna River in the north to the Great Kei River in the south.
As the name suggest, it is known for its untamed wilderness, its remote, beautiful, dramatic and some of the most picturesque landscape you’ll ever see. The Wild coast is also known as Pondoland, as the culture and traditions of the Pondo people form part of the journey. While adventuring with us along the Wild Coast, you’ll see, scattered shipwrecks, stunning rock formations and breath-taking waterfalls, natural rockpools, and even an array of bird species and wild animals through the reserve. The lack of infrastructure to the area, means that few have had the privilege of adventuring along the Pondo Wild Coast.
Our Story ​
Singletrack Adventures originated over 10 years ago when two friends, Gareth and Clint, set off on their mountain bikes in search of adventure along the Wild Coast.
The incredible experience we’d had initiated further forays into Pondoland and, while on one of our trips, we chanced upon a local hiking guide whose knowledge of and love for the Wild Coast would change our lives forever. Around the campfire one night, he told us incredible stories about his homeland and we hatched a plan to create a unique slack-packing adventure tourism company. His passion and knowledge about the Pondo community, combined with our logistical back-up support for riders and walkers was a winning formula.
