📍 Camino Itinerary
Day 0, 9 Aug: Arrival at Stukkie Plaas
Meet fellow pilgrims and settle into the farm stay rest house. Arrive anytime after 4pm and before dark.
Day 1,10 Aug: Stukkie Plaas ➝ Lampiesbaai (14km)
This coastal route follows footpaths and sandy tracks along the quiet St Helena Bay coastline, an area historically linked to St James by early settlers. Madoda, a local chaperone, will help you experience the land through local eyes.
Day 2, 11 Aug: Lampiesbaai ➝ Paternoster (24km)
Seaside eco-cabins surrounded by nature—simple and off-grid. In wildflower season this area is popular. The labyrinth is a sacred site for those looking to reflect or connect with something deeper.
Day 3, 12 Aug: Paternoster ➝ Afsaal (17km)
Some sections are tough, with loose stones and uneven paths—sturdy shoes are essential. Chaperones from Pelgrims Place Rehabilitation Centre walk with you. Tides and terrain shift often, so stay alert and open to the unexpected.
Day 4, 13 Aug: Afsaal ➝ Jacobs Bay (20km)
The route follows quiet gravel roads and mostly flat ground, making for an easygoing walk through wide open landscapes. In wildflower season, the area bursts into colour—fields and road edges alive with blooming daisies, succulents, and fynbos. End in the town of Jacobs Bay.
Day 5, 14 Aug: Jacobs Bay ➝ Saldanha Bay (14km)
The route heads inland through a local community before reaching Saldanha Bay. The town is rough around the edges, shaped by industry and fishing, but it’s a real part of the coastline’s working life. End your Camino here.
