We were a party of two families including four kids ages 5-10 years old, and we slackpacked with Mark and with the support of Amanda in October 2020. Hands down, amazing trip!! Though we have lived in South Africa for ten years, Mark brought us to gorgeous and varied places we wouldn't have found on our own. The kids were so enthralled with how he brought the flora and fauna to life that they didn't notice how many hours or kilometers they were walking. After we finished the trip, it was rather disappointing to revert to "ask google!", and we all missed Mark's guiding. We appreciated the style of accommodation each evening (comfortable parks self-catering lodges in stunning settings), and we also appreciated Mark and Amanda's cooking.
4. Perdepoort Horse Tails
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 50 reviews
PERDEPOORT HORSE TRAILS. Situated in Wilderness heights, 6km from the village, Perdepoort Horse Trails offer rides on a beautiful 65ha private farm. The trail takes you through the indigenous forest were one passes a giant 400-year-old yellowwood tree watching over the forest. Our horses are the best! Children and novice riders are safe and the more experienced riders can have lots of fun trotting and cantering! Bookings are essential and rides go out at 10:00 and 15:00 every day, weather permitting.

Amanda and her horses are amazing... she somehow knows exactly which horse will suit you. My horse kroon and my BF’s horse Victor were the perfect match for us. The trail she then took us on was beautiful it felt as though we were transported into another world. So tranquil in the lush forest just what we were looking for to end off or trip up the garden route... Thank you so much Amanda we will definitely be back.

This is a must-do trip in the area, but be warned it gets very crowded in season between 10am-3pm. If you more peace go early or late! Dont miss a swim in the perfect clean water.

This lookout point is situated on the side of the road between Wilderness and George, but can only be approached when you are driving from Wilderness. Fantastic views along the coast and also a good view of Kaaimans Railway Bridge. Parking is safe but I personally would not want to leave the car unattended for any length of time
