Solo hikes sleep in own tent

Hi All. Looking for camping/hiking sites where you can pitch your own tent around the Eastern Cape or Western Cape.

Hi,

The two most accessible of the wilderness reserves in my mind would be Groot Winterhoek and the Cederberg Wilderness Area. Both are fantastic for free camping, I would just have a chat with someone about a route, as our landscape doesn’t make for the easiest space to just throw a tent up anywhere. Water access and heat would be the other thing to look into at this time of the year.

I think there are one or two others in the Western Cape but I don’t have any experience with them. People like different things, but we have an unfortunate love for slack packing and guided tours in SA in my mind :sweat_smile:
