We begin at the Wild Coast
Casino, then transport runners
to Mbotyi. On route, we’ll visit
scenic spots such as Magwa
Falls and Fraser Falls.
Accommodation: We will overnight at Pumla's Place, in rustic, comfortable cottages that boast panoramic sea views of the Mbotyi coast.
The journey kicks off with a run
along the beach, crossing beautiful
estuaries. Look forward to
breathtaking scenery and natural
wonders like Waterfall Bluff and
Cathedral Rock. We finish before
lunch at our accommodation for
the night.
Accommodation: We will be staying at Lambazi Eco Lodge at Port Grosvenor, which is tucked away into a stunning coastal forest.
We’ll run through grasslands,
wetlands, and forests. A
highlight will be Grosvenor
Bay, the site of an 18thcentury
Portuguese
shipwreck laden with
treasures. Crossing the
Msikaba Estuary, we’ll enter
the Mkambati Nature
Reserve and pass Mkambati
Falls before stopping for a
swim at Strandloper Falls—
you might even brave a jump
into the pools! A canoe will
ferry us across the river to
Mtentu Lodge.
Accommodation: We will overnight at Mtentu Lodge nestled on the edge of the Mkambati Nature Reserve.
Our final day takes us along the coast to Sikombe, with a short beach run and river crossing. Heading inland, we’ll explore the Xolobeni Red Desert, a marvel of wind-sculpted sand formations. The beach run will continue past the Mzamba Petrified Forest and fossils (tide-dependent). We aim to reach Wild Coast Casino by late morning, where our adventure concludes.
