Otter Trail Slackpacking (Optional)

For hikers who wish not to carry your full load during your hike the following benefits are available

Carry only day bag on the trail
Extra bag drop off at huts every night
Share between 2 people
Max 15 Kg backpack

Here’s how our slackpacking service works:

• Your food will be transported to the huts daily, arriving around 2 PM.
• Please clearly label all food for each day’s drop-off so that the porters know what to bring.
• Any food that requires refrigeration should be marked clearly.
• All your gear must be packed in a backpack to make it easier for the porters to carry both gear and food.
• On some days, the porters will use emergency exits to access the huts and may need to hike up to 1 km to deliver your supplies.

This service allows you to hike with just a light daypack while we take care of transporting your essentials

Slackpacking option only available for Trekking Africa customers
