The Wild Coast


The Wild coast is considered to be the most beautiful part of south Africa.  It is a rugged "wild"  stretch of coastline, with rolling hills and lots of little villages and tracks scattered around.  Many say its the last part of South Africa  that is "African".  It is the Transkei homeland  where the locals - the Xhosa people were pretty much left to their own devices during apartheid.

We stayed at a number of locations along the coast.  The first place we stayed was Coffee Bay.  At Coffee Bay we took a day hike along the coast to a famous sea arch called "The Hole in the Wall".

Typical houses or "Rondavels" along the coast.

Amazing deserted beaches.
