Surfing In Cintsa, South Africa | Stoked For Travel
Cintsa is one of the first stops along the Wild Coast part of South Africa from Cape Town to Durban and this sleepy little part of the country offers tranquility and empty beaches.
Not only that it's filled with incredible surf spots and empty waves!
We spent 10 days based at Bucaneer Backpackers as part of my South Africa Surf Adventure and it was one of the most relaxing stops so far.
Certainly somewhere I'd recommend checking out whether you surf ot not!
Next stop...Coffee Bay

VISIT ➜
Tour South Africa with Hotspots2c
Located on the southernmost tip of Africa, South Africa provides seemingly countless reasons to visit. You could embark on an urban adventure in vibrant cities, get away from it all along the coast where two oceans pay homage to the shoreline and escape to nature on a safari or trek through the mountains.
South Africa landscapes are as vast as the country is diverse, to experience it, you need a trip that encompasses much of what this destination offers. Travel from Cape Town to Johannesburg with Hotspots2c, to give yourself a real chance of discovering South Africa.
Set off from Cape Town along Route 62, which is famed for being the longest wine route in the world. As you come across vineyards, taste the country’s aged nectar from ancient cellars while your other senses become entangled with soaring peaks, twisting passes, and the Karoo Plains. This road will bring you to Oudtshoorn. It may be a cosy town, but it’s also the ostrich capital of the world, where your palette will be indulged further with Ostrich steak and kebabs. In just this one short breath of journey, you’ll begin to experience some of South Africa’s celebrated diversity.
As you continue onwards towards the idyllic seaside town of Jeffrey’s Bay (perfect for a spot of surfing), you’ll touch down in Sedgefield, where you can explore some of the country’s heritage and wilderness. As you venture further, the pitstops for South Africa’s nature become even better. You’ll visit Addo Elephant National Park, spend a couple of nights beside unspoilt coastline in Chintsa, learn more about the country's complicated past in Coffee Bay and stand on the foothills of the Drakensberg Mountains.
If that wasn’t enough, you’ll also set off on a safari in Kruger National Park, one of the greatest wildlife destinations in the world, and experience the African bush. The final leg of this epic trip is in Johannesburg, an ever-changing city that's considered to be the heart of South Africa.
If you’re ready to start exploring South Africa’s sandy beaches, safari plains and rugged landscapes, head over to TourRadar to find the best deals on this itinerary, as well as many other amazing tours.

A Holidaymaker's Guide to South Africa's Wild Coast
The weather's always good on the Wild Coast, and there's so much to explore - all the better when you're on foot!
You can do a river mouth hopping up and down the coast, or nestle yourself in an isolated hamlet like Hluleka Nature Reserve or Umngazi River Mouth.
At the heart of the Wild Coast lies the pastures and beaches of Coffee Bay, where a certain rock marvel has been luring travellers to its shores for decades.
But what makes this stretch of coast especially unique is its people - where isiXhosa traditions are shared with visitors and help communities thrive through cultural tourism.

Announcing Our Trip To Germany!!!
In 2014 we spent nearly a month in Berlin with a few side trips to other parts of Germany including Leipzig, Freiburg and Frankfurt. It is one of those countries that we felt could potentially be a base for us in the future. The food, the culture and all of the travel activities fit like a glove. We're thrilled to announce we're heading back again soon! In just a couple of days we'll be exploring the Northeastern part of the country including Brandenburg and Mecklenburg Western Pomerania. The goal for this trip is to immerse ourselves in as many cultural activities and sample as many regional foods as we possibly can. We sure hope you'll join us :)

Announcing Our Trip To Germany Travel Video Transcript:
So Hello from my parent's backyard here in Brampton, Canada. This is our last weekend in Canada for a while. We're actually traveling back to Germany this weekend. And we wanted to announce the trip and tell you what we're going to be doing over there.
So basically the idea is that we'll be traveling to the Northeastern part of the country. We'll be visiting Brandenburg and Mecklenburg Western Pomerania. And the whole idea is to go in search of unique customs and traditions that exist in that part of the country.
So what is particularly exciting about this trip is that we're going to be doing most of it on the road. It is going to be a road trip by car. We're going to be traveling to a lot of off-the-beaten-path types of destinations and going to places we've never seen before.
So some of the things we're going to try while we are there include punting. So apparently that is a flat boat that is propelled by a pole. So we'll be learning to punt in the canals, in the forest. Hey, if we can kayak and canoe then I think we can give it. It'll be fun why not.
Yeah, we're also going to be sampling lots of pickles because apparently this region in Germany is known for producing pickles. We like our pickles. We do.
Um, what else are we doing? We'll be doing some hiking along the Chalky cliffs in Ruegen Island and also visiting a few different woodwork shops where they still make toys by hand.
So, very cultural activities that you normally wouldn't think of when traveling in Germany. But it should be fun.
Absolutely.
So let us know if you have any suggestions for thing to do in Brandenburg and Mecklenburg Western Pomerania. It is a bit of a mouthful isn't it. It is and we're heading there soon. See you soon. See, you.
And in the meantime, we have a few more videos from New York City coming out.
This is part of our Travel in Germany series. We're making a series of videos showcasing German culture, German arts, German foods, German religion, German cuisine and German people.
All photos and video taken by Samuel Jeffery (Nomadic Samuel) and Audrey Bergner (That Backpacker).
