Two local hiking trails claim national awards
Two local hiking trails, the Chokka Trail and Baviaans Camino, have received awards as Best Visitors Experience in South Africa at the National Lilizela Award Ceremony.
The awards ceremony was held in Pretoria on Saturday, November 9.
The Chokka Trail, established in 2013, has received the Award in the Beach Category for the fourth consecutive year, and the Baviaans Camino, established in 2016, received it in the Action and Adventure Category. Both hiking trails are organised by Eric and Esti Stewart from St Francis Bay.
“We are extremely proud that both our trails have won,” says Eric. “We are proud of each and every person and business involved in our trails; they make it what it is.”
The Chokka Trail is a 62km hiking trail over four days and three nights in the greater St Francis area.
“It is more than a hike, it is a hi-king holiday, the staff at the overnight points really spoil the hikers as they know the trail can be challenging, especially on windy or rainy days,” says Eric.
