This area, however, is extraordinarily diverse and is acknowledged as a biodiversity hotspot, with over 6,000 plant species of which 40% are endemic.<\/p>\n<p>The Karoo provides visitors with a unique and awe-inspiring break. Its spectacular landscape of wide open spaces, incredible geological features, breath-taking beauty and peaceful silence, are the perfect ingredients for an escape from the daily rigours of city life and busy life-styles. Hiking through this terrain provides time to breath, see, smell and think. It is a place that rejuvenates the soul.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1725960428228{background-color: #e1efe1 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<figure class=\"vcex-image vcex-module textcenter\"><div class=\"vcex-image-inner wpex-relative wpex-inline-block\"><img width=\"539\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot_20240904_214839_Photos_resized.jpg\" class=\"vcex-image-img wpex-align-middle wpex-aspect-3-4 wpex-object-cover\" alt=\"Aloes in the Karoo with Wide Open Spaces\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot_20240904_214839_Photos_resized.jpg 539w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot_20240904_214839_Photos_resized-213x300.jpg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><\/div><\/figure>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<style> style=\"height:50px;\"<\/style><div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:50px;\"><\/div><figure class=\"vcex-image vcex-module textcenter\"><div class=\"vcex-image-inner wpex-relative wpex-inline-block\"><img width=\"2560\" height=\"1922\" src=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_4286-scaled.jpg\" class=\"vcex-image-img wpex-align-middle wpex-aspect-1-1 wpex-object-cover\" alt=\"Wild Aloes on the Stone Folk Slackpacking trail\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_4286-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_4286-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_4286-1024x769.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_4286-768x577.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_4286-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_4286-2048x1538.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/div><\/figure><style> style=\"height:50px;\"<\/style><div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:50px;\"><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<figure class=\"vcex-image vcex-module\"><div class=\"vcex-image-inner wpex-relative wpex-inline-block\"><img width=\"539\" height=\"722\" src=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot_20240904_214915_Photos_resized.jpg\" class=\"vcex-image-img wpex-align-middle wpex-aspect-3-4 wpex-object-cover\" alt=\"Succulents in the Karoo with Wide Open Spaces\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot_20240904_214915_Photos_resized.jpg 539w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Screenshot_20240904_214915_Photos_resized-224x300.jpg 224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><\/div><\/figure>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1489793614331{border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 60px !important;border-left-color: #eeeeee !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #eeeeee !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #eeeeee !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #eeeeee !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}&#8221;][vc_column margin_bottom=&#8221;0px&#8221; padding_bottom=&#8221;30px&#8221;]<style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69e365b69b689{font-size:32px;}<\/style><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl vcex_69e365b69b689\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">Our Slackpacking Fully Guided Trail<\/span><\/h2><div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1755699275046{margin-bottom: 5px !important;}&#8221;]Our 3-day, 4-night slackpacking trail is a great way to experience the incredibly diverse landscape of the Karoo. The trail takes place between Nieu Bethesda and Compassberg. It is a circular route covering approximately 53kms in total and effectively traverses three different farms. The first and fourth nights of the trail are spent at the same Farmstead.<\/p>\n<p>It is a fully guided\u00a0 route that also includes, 4-nights accommodation in comfortable farmstays, all meals such as a hearty breakfast, a daily lunch pack and a wholesome evening meal, plus the transportation of your main luggage to your overnight accommodation each day. This means that all you have to carry on your hike each day is a day pack, your water and any other essentials you need for the day&#8217;s exploring.<\/p>\n<p>The trail itself takes place at an altitude of 1250m and 1500m and is an undulating trail. It follows jeep tracks, sheep tracks, a riverbed and wide open grasslands and sections of the trail are stoney surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>The distances each day are approximately: Day 1 &#8211; 18kms , Day 2 &#8211; 18kms and Day 3 &#8211; 17kms on Day 3.<\/p>\n<p>Daily hiking duration times are between 6 &#8211; 8 hours.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of the difficulty of the trail, it would best be described as moderate to strenuous. Ankle strength and mobility are vital for this hike, as well as a moderate fitness level.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<figure class=\"vcex-image vcex-module textcenter\"><div class=\"vcex-image-inner wpex-relative wpex-inline-block\"><img width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20231113_084718_resized.jpg\" class=\"vcex-image-img wpex-align-middle\" alt=\"Weltevreden Farm in the Karoo on the Wide Open Spaces Trail\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20231113_084718_resized.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20231113_084718_resized-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/20231113_084718_resized-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vcex-image-caption wpex-mt-10\">Weltevreden Farm (1st and 4th nights here)<\/figcaption><\/figure>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<figure class=\"vcex-image vcex-module textcenter\"><div class=\"vcex-image-inner wpex-relative wpex-inline-block\"><img width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG-20250305-WA0042.jpg\" class=\"vcex-image-img wpex-align-middle\" alt=\"Riverdene Farm - Karoo Stone Folk Slackpacking Trail with Wide open Spaces\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG-20250305-WA0042.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG-20250305-WA0042-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG-20250305-WA0042-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG-20250305-WA0042-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/IMG-20250305-WA0042-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vcex-image-caption wpex-mt-10\">Riverdene Farm<\/figcaption><\/figure>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;]<figure class=\"vcex-image vcex-module textcenter\"><div class=\"vcex-image-inner wpex-relative wpex-inline-block\"><img width=\"1065\" height=\"710\" src=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240724-WA0031.jpg\" class=\"vcex-image-img wpex-align-middle\" alt=\"Doornberg Farm on the Wide Open Spaces Slackpacking Trail\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240724-WA0031.jpg 1065w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240724-WA0031-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240724-WA0031-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wospaces.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG-20240724-WA0031-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1065px) 100vw, 1065px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vcex-image-caption wpex-mt-10\">Doornberg Farm<\/figcaption><\/figure>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1725960346579{background-color: #edebd5 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div><style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69e365b69c964{font-size:32px;}<\/style><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl vcex_69e365b69c964\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">The Details...<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1725958846081{margin-bottom: 5px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p class=\"padBotm8\">The physical hiking of the Stone Folk guided Slackpacking Trail actually starts on the morning of the second day.
