The Wild West Coast 100 route from Hondeklipbaai to Kleinzee is the latest addition to the Namaqua Camino's portfolio. Due to decades of intensive diamond mining, this isolated section of the Namaqualand coastline has been, for the most part, inaccessible to the general public because it was previously declared as "Sperrgebiet". This exclusive 5-day and approximately 100-kilometre slack-pack route traverse along an almost pristine and unspoiled coastline that very few hikers have had the privilege to experience before now. The Wild West 100 is not a roundabout route. Participants meet in Hondeklipbaai where the adventure will start the next morning to Noup. Included in the cost of this route is a tent, stretcher, mattress, and the daily pitching thereof. Please note: You need to prepare well in advance and strive to be 100% walking fit, as this route will test your endurance at times.
