A new unique Durban Waterfall-to-Waterfall Hiking and Camping Trail (Slackpacking Trail) has been developed by Green Corridors just in time for the holiday season.
The three-day, two night hike starts at Overock, in Lower Molweni treks through pristine valleys to the Enanda Adventure Park on Inanda Dam, and then up through Inanda Valley to Amatata Adventures on the top of Inanda Mountain, through some of the most breathtaking rural scenery Durban has to offer.
The trail has been pioneered, developed and physically created by three of Green Corridors tourism SMMEs and site operators who are also trained and experienced guides: Mlu Mthembu (Amatata Adventures), Rasta Reuben (Overock Rasta Camp) and Gabi Ngcobo (eNanda Adventure Park). The trail offers an unforgettable overnight trekking experience designed for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. They have created a fully catered option and a self-catering budget option.
The fully catered option includes all camping equipment, stretchers, meals guiding services, camping fees, and transport from and back to Durban. The camps are set up for you prior to your arrival so there is no need to carry all the equipment from site to site. For those preferring the self catering option, all catering equipment is also provided for you.
“This trail is just the beginning,” enthuses Mlu. “Our plans are underway to expand into three-day trekking experiences with additional package options. Beyond providing memorable adventures, we are aiming to empower local school-leaving young adults to become active in the tourism industry, by training them in internships on these treks. They will be responsible for setting up and dismantling camps, performing night watch duties, giving them a chance to contribute meaningfully to the experience. It will also help them foster new ideas for tourism innovation in their own communities.”
“We are looking forward to welcoming guests on this new trail,” says Rasta Reuben. “We have long spoken about the potential for such a trek and much planning has been done to create the route, cut trails work with local rural communities. This is a brilliant way to combine adventure with sustainable community impact.”
Green Corridors offers a myriad outdoor activities that support local eco and community initiatives, besides the three mentioned in this trail, there is also Mqeku Picnic Site and Isithumba Adventures, both in the Valley of 1000 Hills, and The Green Hub at Durban’s Blue Lagoon.
