You do the fun & let us do the rest.
Breathe the air, absorb the views & feed your soul.
- You want an active, hiking holiday – but you want to travel light.
- You want to walk the trails – but only carry your day pack & camera.
- At the end of the day you want your drink cold, your shower hot, your meal home cooked and your accommodation comfortable.
Congratulations – you’ve come to the right place – that’s what Slackpacking is about.
All trails closed due to Covid-19 lock down. You can still plan your hike for later in the year. Watch the calendar for updates
Slackpacker SA offers multi-day trails that last from two to six days.
Overnight stops are in top-notch camps or lodges set in beautiful surroundings. You’ll have your own qualified guide with all the specialist knowledge required. You’ll be shuttled to and from the beginning and end-points and your luggage will be transferred between overnight venues. Best of all, you’ll be served a home-cooked meal and a choice of drinks at the end of the day’s trek. After an active day and good company you will sleep comfortably in serviced accommodation.

Great day hikes, great photo opportunities, great chat, great memories
For those with less time, there are day hikes on Table Mountain and in the Cape Point Nature Reserve, as well as walking-tours in the Cape Winelands.
Based in Cape Town, in the Western Cape, we operate within the Table Mountain National Park – stretching from the city centre to Cape Point, 60 km away – as well as in the Cape Winelands, Garden Route, Overberg and West Coast. We also partner with trails on the Wild Coast, in the KwaZulu Natal Drakensberg and other parts of South Africa. But wherever we take you, it’ll be in true Slackpacker SA style.
Traditional South African hospitality, exquisite natural scenery and healthy physical activity all rolled into one
Slackpacker SA can also take care of the tour arrangements for your entire visit – your itinerary, accommodation, airport shuttles, visits to interesting venues and attractions, wine tours and other outdoor activities. You could join one of our pre-arranged tours, or we could create a private itinerary just for you.
Whether you join us as individuals, couples or groups, for a special event or as a team-building group for a corporate event, rather focus on the serious business of having a good time – and let us take care of the rest.

About Me
My name is Frank Dwyer. Hiking is my passion and hospitality is my business. The fact that I get to do both in South Africa’s exquisite natural environment is my good fortune. A born and bred South African, I am also an unashamed convert to the pleasures of slackpacking.
I am a trained hike leader and a registered Nature Guide, with 30 years’ of experience in the hospitality and catering industry.
My speciality is catered and serviced walking tours and trails. My goal is for you to have the best outdoor experience ever, while enjoying true South African hospitality.
