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.
