Each day brings new scenery, from open plains and winding farm roads to gentle inclines leading to panoramic views of the Karoo landscape.
The route is considered of moderate difficulty. While there are no steep climbs, the distances covered each day and the Karoo’s changing terrain require a fair level of fitness and preparation.
The Camino is designed for hikers who enjoy steady walking over extended distances, rather than strenuous mountain hiking.
You will walk between 20 and 25 km per day, pausing to rest, take in the scenery, and enjoy farm hospitality along the way. Each night, hikers stay on a different working Karoo farm or in the beautiful Karoo town Vosburg, where hosts provide hearty home cooked meals and warm accommodation.
