Four days of walking and exploring the beauty of the De Hoop Nature Reserve ...enjoying the wealth of marine, bird and animal life and discovering rare plants. And at the end of each day’s hike, tucking into gourmet meals and staying over in a luxurious, comfortable villa. Ramblers dreams are made of this.
Slack-packing adventures are made for those of us who love to walk through magnificent reserves, connect with nature, but aren’t that keen on the whole camping-in-the-middle-of-nowhere thing! After a strenuous day, the last thing we want is to fiddle around with tent poles and try to rustle up something on an open fire.
So we’re mad about the newly launched The De Hoop Trail: Vlei to Whales ... a fully catered and guided four day, three night experience where you’ll cover about 38km through the pristine De Hoop Nature and Marine Reserve.
Guests stay in the De Hoop Collection’s De Mond Villa, a newly restored and refurbished Villa right on the edge of the Ramsar-listed vlei. An exclusive blend of authenticity, luxury and comfort, the five en-suite bedroomed De Mond Villa offers awesome interior decor, Wi-Fi, a private outside area with barbeque and swimming pool and the most incredible views.
De Hoop is an easy three hour drive from Cape Town or George. A minimum of guests are required - and you should be reasonably fit to enjoy the experience. Not suitable for those under 12. The rate of R14200 a person includes the three night/four day experience, with a guide, all meals and snacks, local house wines, spirits, beers and soft drinks, and road transfers to and from de Mond Villa and within de Hoop.
