Itinerary
DAY 0: Kapteinskloof / Sterkfontein
Either Kapteinskloof Guest Farm or Sterkfontein Homestay start this route. Kapteinskloof is only available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays because Melanie is fully booked on the weekends for a minimum of a two nights stay. So if you want to start here you need to book in for two nights or a Tuesday or Wednesday.
Melanie prides herself in her attention to detail and looks after you very well. You can request a hot tub in winter or dip in the pool in summer. The guest farm has a beautiful garden full of fruit trees.
Sterkfontein is available any day of the week and you sleep in a self-catering house on the farm next to a big dam. Your hosts Wikus and his wife are used to living the farm life and tend to give pilgrims space. They bring you your dinner and you have the place to yourself.
Arrive after 4pm and before dark.
DAY 1: Kapteinskloof/Sterkfontein ➝ Aurora (22km)
Both accommodations follow the same route to Aurora – it is a foot path along the base of the Picketburg mountains and a Chaperones is essential to know where to walk on the neighbours farms. In spring the wildflowers are abundant in between the agricultural fields.
Aurora is bright orange in spring time. A very quaint town with a magnificent NG church designed by William Henry Ford from Australia in 1909. Your hosts are two sisters who live in one of the handful of streets in Aurora. You spend the night in their home. They give you space to unwind and reflect.
DAY 2: Aurora ➝ Klein Tafelberg (23km)
DAY 3: Klein Tafelberg ➝ Redelinghuys (13km)
DAY 4: Redelinghuys ➝ Wild West Coast (24km)
DAY 5: Leave after breakfast
