60km
Nieu-Bethesda Mini Camino

The Nieu-Bethesda Mini Camino is a 60km, 3-day walking journey through the stunning Karoo. Covering 20km daily, this adventure offers a shorter, yet rewarding experience.

Unlike our 100km Camino, the Mini Camino offers a single base camp, Riad Maroc Guesthouse, where you’ll return each night. This eliminates the need to pack up and move each day, allowing you to focus on enjoying the walk.

All accommodation and meals are included. Enjoy nature, peaceful gravel roads, and slackpacking in this immersive, manageable walking pilgrimage.

50km
Canyon Mini Camino

Step into the quiet heart of the Karoo with the Canyon Mini-Camino — a 50km 3-day slackpacking adventure based on a working sheep farm just outside Nieu-Bethesda. Walk 15–20km per day across vast plains, private canyons, and fossil-rich landscapes, with each step offering a deeper connection to nature and farm life. From ancient rock art and seasonal sheep shearing to warm beds and traditional meals, this journey invites you to experience the Karoo not as a visitor — but as part of its living rhythm.

 

Experience the Natural Beauty of the Karoo!
