4th Edition touring map: Scale
1:200 000 [5cm = 10km]
The Wild Coast is a
wilderness paradise, strewn with natural wonders. Over one hundred
lagoons thread this romantic coast, pristine beaches await
fishermen, surfers and holiday makers; mighty waterfalls plunge
directly into the sea, rivers gouge deep secret valleys into this
heartland of South Africa’s history. Birthplace and resting place of
Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, this extraordinary landscape is where
visions were dreamed, battles fought, ships came to dramatic ends.
The fourth edition of our Wild Coast map is bigger and better
than ever. The fully-revised map now includes larger insets of some
important areas, as well as distance charts for coastal hikers, with
the estuary-to-estuary distances down the length of the coast, from
Port Edward to East London, amongst many other updates.
This is the first detailed map ever
produced for the area; may it help you to discover the Wild Coast
wilderness.
I was lucky enough to be given a copy of your amazing Wild Coast
map while in the Wild Coast during my 19-week bicycle tour around
the border of South Africa and I have nothing but praise for it.
Once I got my hands on it, it made getting around the Wild Coast a
breeze. No stress about getting lost which meant more time just
enjoying the scenery. Without this map I would probably still be
lost back there. Thanks for saving my ass and making that section of
my trip a memorable one. – Clinton Jones
Our full-relief map covers, at a scale of 1:200 000, the great
300km sweep of the Transkei Wild Coast, from East London in the
south to Port Edward in the north. It covers the whole area from the
coast to the N2 as far north as Mthatha, including the mighty Bawa
Falls, the unbelievable Collywobbles, and the Mandela Museum at
Qunu. The complex geography of the Wild Coast has always made access
difficult – this is the map that has been designed to make
exploration possible.

classifications that indicate the quality of each road, helping
