Us “boys” love taking fishing trips in the Transkei, which is far away from crowds. We rough it up, and sleep in tents or around a fireplace in the bushy areas along the rivers.

 

Vast areas in the Transkei appear untouched by man. This territory is so large that you have sea, bush and rivers to choose from where you can camp out, pitch a tent, and build a cosy fireplace to “park-off” around. A great time for male bonding!
The locals are also noteworthy for their kindness, generally helpful and respectful to visitors.
