Wlaking the Tsitsikamma Trail with Sacred Trails

Firefly Falls transport to Covie to start hike to Bloukrans Hut – 9 km +- 3 hours.


WATER- WISDOM


Today we enter the wilderness to cleanse our spirits and dissolve our sins in the waters that spring from our unique Afro-montane forest, allowing it to wash away grief and spent emotion, as well as to inform our dreams.


The first day on trail is a short one as we enter the forest. We begin our Sacred Trail by walking from Covie to the Bloukrans hut, situated on the verge of a cliff and offering incredible views of the river gorges below, with majestic Peak Formosa and the Tsitsikamma Mountains to the north. A few hundred metres beneath the hut a rust-coloured waterfall tumbles into private rock pools where we will be blessed to meet the sacred waters of life. We will also bathe, swim and play!


Tonight we share about our Grandmothers in our sacred circle.

AIR- PERSPECTIVE & CLARITY


On this day we will explore the healing

power of breath work- breathing out trauma and expanding our Spirit.


Today takes us deep into the Tsitsikamma Mountains and forest. This is a wetter and more remote world where a true sense of isolation begins to take hold. Buffelsbos is where the last Cape buffalo of the Tsitsikamma was to be found in the late 1800’s. In this enchanted piece of indigenous forest the trail begins its eastward course through the mountains, with wonderful swimming and resting places. The rest of the day follows flat terrain through flower-rich fynbos and ancient, relic forest. Shortly before reaching Keurbos hut there are rockpools resembling natural jacuzis at the twin tubs for us to cool down. 


Tonight we share about our Fathers.

Day 4 passes through very diverse habitat types and has a number of exciting river crossings. After a gradual descent from Keurbos hut through very tall fynbos the Lottering River is reached. We will proceed slowly up Rushes Pass, pausing regularly to appreciate the majestic views. Once over the saddle, largepockets of untouched indigenous forest become visible in remote mountain regions. The path then descends for a similar distance to follow the western bank of the Elandsbos River for almost a kilometre before reaching the Elandsbos River crossing point. Heuningbos indigenous forest has many hidden secrets awaiting hikers further ahead. After the final descent towards the hut, you will cross the Kleinbos River twice before reaching the Heuningbos Hut. A very pleasant swimming pool lies within strolling distance away. 


Tonight we share about our Mothers in our sacred circle.

FIRE- POWER & ANCESTRY

The longest day of the trail will see us negotiate two saddles on route to Sleepkloof hut, as we feel the burn and work with our internal flame.

Most of the day passes through pristine mountain fynbos where many interesting plant and animal species occur. The wet indigenous forest at Mostertsbos is a stark contrast from the open mountain slopes. The crossing of the Witteklip River marks the day’s half-way point and the second saddle’s ascent begins shortly thereafter. The view from the top of Nademaalsnek is a just reward. The spectacular Storms River gorge, Sleepkloof hut and the final two-kilometre indigenous forest stretch are both visible from that point. Sleepkloof hut nestles on the slopes of a densely forested gorge where wood was dragged out during the woodcutter era.
The hut has magnificent views of the Tsitsikamma mountains in the distance.

Tonight we share about our Grandfathers in our sacred circle.

Leaving in the morning from the Sleepkloof Hut, we will take an easy hike through dense indigenous forest to our collection point for the short ride to the Bitou BioCamp, deep in the forest and by a cool, flowing river.


Tonight we share about ourselves and our plans for the future in our sacred circle of accountability.
