Amapondo Backpackers

TTake a stunning location – set on a hill amidst tropical rain forest, spoon in amazing panoramic views, add a perfect beach, just two shakes of a shark’s tail away, blend in African themed rooms and classy cottages. Season with a lively bar, boasting the Wild Coast’s best sound system. Serve with love and care. Amapondo, the perfect recipe for your time away. Talking recipes, Amapondo has an a la carte restaurant, serving a full range of both international and local dishes. Vegetarians are well catered for, with a whole kitchen garden full of options. Accommodation is in African themed rooms and dorms. They also have a range of cottages for a little more exclusivity. Whether you want a quiet relaxing break in your own piece of paradise, a base from where you can explore the natural beauty of the area, an adventure on one of their many tours, close interactions with locals, genuine cultural experiences, yoga lessons, a deep tissue massage, or a thumping all-out party with some top DJ’s - Amapondo has it all! Silaka nature reserve is a short and easy stroll away, Bululo Waterfall an exciting hike, but don’t chicken out of the 11m jump, Isinuka sulphur mud caves are earthy fun, the old air-strip runway (where Leonardo Di Caprio ‘died’ in Blood Diamond) is magical at sunset especially with an icy-cold sundowner. Toss in a 4x4 trip to the 144mtr Magwa Falls, or a tour around Port St Johns and you have all the ingredients for the holiday of a lifetime.
