A Personal Pilgrimage

Is Cape Camino for me?

If you’re feeling a little stuck, unsure, or simply longing for something to change, Cape Camino might be for you.

It a journey through the Western Cape for those wanting to create space through walking.

Space to breath. Space to reconnect. Space to meet people. Space to see the Cape differently.

Space to discover what comes next.

You don’t need to know exactly what you’re looking for. Just come as you are, and let the journey unfold.

It’ll take you through coastlines, countryside, small towns, farms and communities.

WALK WITH CONFIDENCE

Is Cape Camino safe?

Yes. Cape Camino has evolved organically with safety in mind. The route follows places where hosts and communities have chosen to welcome pilgrims, shaping the path through known, lived-in landscapes rather than imposed routes.

Accommodation, daily stages, and support are arranged in advance, and on days where additional support is needed – particularly in more complex or urban areas – local chaperones walk with pilgrims. On other days, routes are safe to walk independently. Cape Camino is a supported pilgrimage, shaped with care by hosts, communities, and place.

A WALKING TRADITION

What is a Camino?

A Camino is a sacred walking route hosted by the local community. Every country has its own culture, history and natural environment, so each Camino will have its own flavour. No two countries will offer the same Camino.
Cape Camino, The Way of Table Mountain, showcases South African diversity, along a network of routes, over 650 kms of (mostly) off-road path.
This long-distance personal pilgrimage route offers space, time, adventure, meditation, fellowship, challenges and triumphs. The necessary components to any worthwhile journey.
As the walker, you are the guest. The diverse, sacred spaces and friendly, local neighbourhoods are your hosts. Table Mountain, two oceans, farm lands, wine lands, forests and beaches are your setting.
Cape Camino is not an organised hike or tour- it is a personal pilgrimage route. As the pilgrim, you manage your expectations and if challenges occur that are unresolvable, you contact your hosts for assistance.

Elke dag besef mens net weer wat ń pragtige land ons het. Mens kan stil word en  wees al loop jy in ń groep. Die res van die Cape Camino is beslis op my bucketlist. Dankie ook vir die chaperones wat ons van hulle self en omgewing vertel het.

This camino is different the other Camino (like Camino de Santiago); less pilgrims, more alone time, homes cooked meals, nicer accommodations, and it is located in a magical place like South Africa.  During my farm Cape Camino, the weather was perfect.  Wish I had more time, therefore I can't wait to do more.  Until next Cape Camino, next route, next friendships.....Cheers!!

It was absolutely great. Every moment of it. It was a well organized Camino. We enjoyed all the chaperones and hosts, and every place we stayed had a special memory and place in our hearts. The Camino benefits us  individually and as a couple with growth and development. We enjoy every moment with the trio girls and foster special memories in our hearts. Thank you so much for a life enriching adventure.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can't recommend this highly enough. We walked the first 6 days from Wellington. Peggy and her team ensured a smooth journey with plenty of support. We met wonderful people and were warmly welcomed wherever we went. There is no shortage of food, hot showers and comfy beds allowing you to just concentrate on the walking, thinking and soaking in of the beautiful surroundings. We trained a lot before hand and were glad we had, it definitely requires digging deep at times. I'll definitely be back to to the next leg of the Cape Camino!

Along the way we were swept up in the Camino hospitality and generosity of chaperones and hosts - giving of their time and opening up their homes to us.  The scenery and routes of our walks were so beautiful and although some roads never seemed to end, we were always greeted at the other end by smiling faces, a comfortable bed, a hot shower and the energy to do it all again the next day.  We cannot wait to more of the route next year.  A big thank you to all the wonderful organising behind the scenes by Gabrielle and Peggy.  We LOVED our experience so much!

The walks were tough as the distances were more than expected, but that is part of the challenge. I will be back next year!

A slow and gentle way to experience and engage with your surroundings. An opportunity to spend time with yourself. Loads of fresh air, a nice push on the muscles, healthy body and mind. I highly recommend doing as many days as you can!

Agreed by all, walking the Cape Camino is a thought provoking, decluttering, pondering-life-type of break-away! Heartfelt gratitude to Cape Camino and every pilgrim who joined us! The Cape Camino should definitely be on your bucket list.
