The Wild Coast<br />

Much further along from Port Elizabeth’s beaches lies the<br />

wild coast. This stretch of coast line consists of several<br />

spectacular sights such as waterfalls, craggy sea cliffs,<br />

subtropical forests, gorges, mangrove swamps, crashing<br />

waves and diverse marine life. You can get around the<br />

coast in a vehicle but a totally unique way to experience<br />

the coast is via one of its many hiking trails that connects<br />

village to village.<br />

The Wild coast is also the ancestral home of the Xhosa<br />

people so there are some cultural and educational<br />

experiences to be had along the way.<br />

Hogsback<br />

Hogsback is an idyllic village nestled away<br />

high up in the Amathole mountains. The village<br />

overlooks three scenic peaks, picture perfect<br />

forests, elegant gardens and boasts several<br />

charming cottages to stay in.<br />

There are quite a few hiking trails and paths<br />

leading into the surrounding forests that lead<br />

you to sparking waterfalls and panoramic<br />

viewpoints.<br />
