Camino

What to expect

The Eco Karoo Camino is a slackpacking adventure set in the heart of the Upper Karoo. Over three unforgettable walking days, you’ll explore a circular route across 4,200 hectares of private wilderness surrounding the Eco Karoo Mountain Lodge.

This unique experience combines adventure and tranquillity. Each group walks unguided along marked routes. The route difficulty is moderate, featuring a mix of gravel roads, rocky sections, and moderate to steep inclines that will get your heart rate up — and reward you with breathtaking views at every turn. No ropes or technical hiking gear are required, but a good level of walking fitness is essential. The Eco Karoo Camino is not a race; it’s a walk of discovery. 

At the end of each day, return to luxury accommodation, a hearty farm style Karoo meal, and the unmatched serenity of the starlit night sky.
