The Kraal Backpackers

About The Kraal Backpackers

The Kraal is a unique backpackers, situated in a beautiful and remote Pondo Xhosa tribal area of the old Transkei. We lie in a natural amphitheatre overlooking the ocean. We are located about 40kms from Port St Johns.

Directly behind us flows the Sinangwana River through wild coastal forests out onto a stunning unspoiled beach. The natural surroundings allow us to enjoy dolphin sightings most mornings, while fish eagles and ravens soar above us.

All of our structures face out over the sea, so you can enjoy the fresh air or just listen to the waves breaking in the small valley near the site. A large entertainment and eating area lets everyone find their own space and meet with fellow backpackers! Long white beaches, rolling hills and natural valleys will ensure the most unforgettable stay.
