Wild Coast coastline
One of the trademarks of the coastline along the Wild Coast is rolling grassy hills that suddenly turn into vertical cliffs falling away to the ocean below.

The church in Salem
A quick detour from the N2 between Nanaga and Grahamstown to Kenton-on-Sea took me through the village of Salem for the first time in ages last week. I didn't have time to explore much but I did stop for a quick photo of the front of the church while parked next to the cricket field. Salem was founded by the Sephton party who formed part of the 1820 British Settlers who settled in this district. The name comes from the bible and means "peace" with…

A perfect moring on the Wild Coast
You know when you've experienced something that you just want to share over and over again? My Wild Coast trip was like that (heck, sometimes I feel every trip I go on is like that) and I wish I could transport you all to the day I spend at Wavecrest Hotel and getting up to a perfect windless morning. Getting up just before sunset with not a ripple on the lagoon. Ahhh, absolute bliss.

Where did Coffee Bay get it’s name?
Have you ever wondered where Coffee Bay got its name from? Its not like the Wild Coast is a coffee growing area and beer is a lot more popular around there than coffee anyway. Way back in 1893 on a... this part of the story I don't know so I will give you a couple of options 1. dark stormy night 2. quiet fog covered morning3. bright sunshine day (with the sun shining in the captain's eyes) ... a cargo ship with a…

I experienced the Sliding Rock at Qunu
I got to slide down the sliding rock at Qunu where Madiba and his friends (as well as many local kids before and after him) played as children. Some of you seem confused so let me explain. On a recent trip up the Wild Coast I stopped at the Nelson Mandela Museum in Qunu and was taken on a tour by one of the guides. Part of the tour takes one about 200 meters away from the museum buildings to a couple…

This is the Wild Coast
Doesn't this just shout out Wild Coast to you? A winding dirt road, rolling hills dotted with huts and villages and a beautiful rugged coastline second to none. If you have never been there to experience and see this for yourself, then you really must make a plan cause you are missing out.The photo was taken on the road between Coffee Bay and Hole in the Wall. #experienceeastcape

Transkei landscape
The first time I traveled through the old Transkei in the Eastern Cape I could barely keep my eyes on the road. The rolling hills covered in villages broken up by communal grazing for cattle, mielies fields and other vegetable patches just had me mesmerized. For most travelling to the Wild Coast the actual coast is what it's all about. For me the journey to get there is just as exciting

Takazi Waterfall – hidden on the Wild Coast
One of the first things I did when I knew I was getting to explore the Wild Coast a little bit was to check if there will be any Geocaches on the route I was going to follow. Although there weren't a whole lot I made sure I saved those I would be able to do on my phone before hitting the road. Driving along the gravel road to Wavecrest Hotel I had a look to see where the closest cache was…

The good, the bad and the ugly of the Wild Coast
The Wild Coast has always been one of those within reach yet just a tad too far away destinations for me. Living in Port Elizabeth I have travelled down the Garden Route and through the western part of the Eastern Cape quite extensively, but the Great Kei River beyond East London was like a hurdle I just didn't get to cross that easily. That was until I planned a short Wild Coast road trip as part of a journey to Durban. After my…
