Get back to basics and experience a true rural community in the heart of the Wild Coast. Stay in comfortable traditional mud huts surrounded by beaches, forests and estuaries. Support one of South Africa’s most community active backpackers with 50% belonging to the community, and 100% of all activities owned by the community. Get involved with Transcape, Mdumbi’s NPO, and all our current projects. Check out Mdumbi’s garden and eco friendly systems. Learn to surf or get barrelled at Mdumbi’s world class point break surf—it just might be the longest ride of your life. Hear the inside scoop and set off to the best undiscovered surf spot on our coast. Kayak up the tranquil Mdumbi river and feast your eyes on the amazing birdlife. Hike along our coast exploring caves and swimming in water pools, or take a guided wander through our friendly village. Stroll along South Africa’s most beautiful beach (as voted in Getaway Magazine). Take our horses out for a gallop down the beach or have a massage after a long day of adventure. Fill your belly with mama’s delicious cooking (try our Saturday seafood feast). Enjoy the community dance troupe’s traditional performance, or head to the beach guided by the moon and watch the red sparks from the bonfire float up to the silver stars. Wake up for sunrise, catch a glimpse of the dolphins riding the waves, and ponder how lucky you are to have discovered such a magical spot.
