Amanda Belcher

What an amazing experience, I would highly recommend this wonderful trek to all and sundry. Ian and his team are exceptional and we could not have wanted for anything. The pre-trek info was amazing, the help along the way was fabulous. We loved the accommodations and it was amazing to have the 'surprises' along the way. I would do this again! Thank you all who made our trek such fun!

Brilliantly planned hike with comfortable accommodation and delicious meals. Roaring fires were welcomed at the end of a wet day out. Great to see another part of our beautiful country.

Response from the owner: Thank you Tracey. You guys were a delight. I am glad you all enjoyed it so much ... We enjoyed hosting all of you.Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!

Monique Schutz

A wonderfully organised Camino, from the clear communication before the hike to the seamless handling of luggage and regular updates during the journey. The accommodation exceeded my expectations - having my own bathroom daily was a delightful change from sharing one with twelve other hikers. The food was incredible, and the views were simply fabulous. I highly recommend this experience for anyone seeking a well-planned and enjoyable hiking adventure.

Silky Col

Beautiful fully guided 5-day hiking trail through afromontaine forest, tree plantatations, across farm land and more, ending near the sea. Accommodation and food were great. The organisers paid attention to detail and the two guides, Ricky and Ti, looked after our group so well. Highly recommended!

Response from the owner: Hi Silky ... thank you again for the review and for the fabulous week we spent with you. A memorable one as always ... See you again soon... Best regards ~ ~ iain and the Plett Camino Team !

Adel Gericke

The Plett Camino was a great way to get to know the road less travelled in Plett. The surroundings change every day and the route is well planned. I lived every packed lunch and all the dinners were amazing. We were lucky to be paired with a really fun group. Although we had lots of fun, there was also ample time for reflection on the walk itself. The Camino team put in a lot of effort and they were open to our special requests to make our trip successful. Last, but not least - our guides Tian and Jessie were the best!

Response from the owner: Thank you Adel. What a fabulous week it was for all of us. You guys certainly looked like you had a ball from the first evening.Thanks for taking the tie to give us such a fab review.~ ~ iain and The Plett Camino Team !

How Tough is the Plett Camino ?

So how tough is the Plett Camino really? We are often asked this question by hikers, but how tough a hike is can be fairly tricky to answer. Tough for one person may not be so tough for another depending on fitness and experience. Along the route, you will hike...
