The Plett Camino is a very well-organized hike and was a blast from beginning to end. The hike itself takes you through stunning scenery with a good mix of terrain. The week was an amazing experience and I will recommend this to anyone
Abrie Traut
An experience to remember and cherish. Breathtaking sights, friendly hosts at each stop, knowledgable guides (Tiaan and Tina) and very well organised. All your needs are catered for - Breakfast, Lunch and Supper with drinks included (Water, soft drinks, beers, wine and G&T). Each day is different, walking through dense forests with a canopy of trees; fynbos or between pine plantations. A moderate degree of fitness is required, but the guides paces the group well and allows for rest stops as and when required. We finished most days in around 4-5hours so there is ample of time for R&R and enjoy the comany of fellow hikers.

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!
Response from the owner:HI Amanda ... what a fun week it was ... we loved hosting you chaps and remember the discussions about what all of you do in your safari experience businesses up North ... Till our paths cross again ! Iain and the Plett Camino Team !!
Tracey Hudson
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.

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...
