+/- 5000km trip around SA

Hi all
I am based in Durban and i am planning a trip in December to early January, I want to travel through golden gates to Clarens and then head across to the west coast and down to the cape where I would like to stay a couple of days. From there I will be traveling along the garden route back to Durban so I was just asking for recommendations on some camp spots along the way. The hidden little gems if you know what I mean. Any comment would be greatly appreciated. Ta.

Hey Ryan, these are 2 campsites worth looking at on your trip:

  1. Recently visited this great spot just off the N7 above Garies: https://www.ovrlndr.co.za/campsites/namakwaland-wild-campsite

  2. Ebb & Flow in Wilderness is a great spot in the Garden Route: https://www.ovrlndr.co.za/campsites/wilderness-national-park-ebb-flow
