Hiking from Knysna to Addo
An enthusiastic group of local and international adventurers set off on the seventh annual Eden to Addo Great Corridor Hike on Sunday, September 1.
This 400km trek from the Knysna forest to Addo Elephant National Park, is described as a “pilgrimage to biodiversity”. All the guides and support team-members are Plettenberg Bay locals.
Eden to Addo Corridor Initiative in association with the Wittedrift-based, Bhejane 4×4 Adventures are responsible for this unique hiking adventure. Fast becoming known as ‘a must do hike’, it has been dubbed South Africa’s Camino, although those in the know insist it is tougher.
The hike comprises a gruelling 20 days of walking through some of the most remote mountain areas in the region with an average of 20km being covered each day. Eden to Addo gains special access to private areas; in some cases these hikers are the only humans to pass through an area the whole year.
The Eden to Addo Great Corridor Hike is a fundraising hike where all money raised contributes to the efforts of the Eden to Addo Corridor Initiative.
