Wilderness Backpackers is a welcoming and vibrant hostel located in the heart of South Africa’s iconic Garden Route, nestled between the lush forests and sparkling coastline of Wilderness, just a short drive from George. Perfectly situated for adventurers, digital nomads, surfers, and soulful wanderers alike, it serves as a comfortable base to explore the natural beauty of the region - including the famous Map of Africa viewpoint.
Guests can choose from a range of cozy accommodations, including clean and stylish dorm rooms or private en-suite doubles, all decorated with locally-inspired flair. Whether you're staying solo or in a group, Wilderness Backpackers offers a warm and communal atmosphere that encourages connection with fellow travellers. Relax in a hammock under the milkwood trees, stretch out on a patio lounger, or enjoy the peaceful birdcalls and gentle rhythms of village life.
The location is one of its greatest assets - just a stone’s throw from the Touw River, a five-minute walk to the pristine Wilderness Beach, and close to top hiking trails, canoe routes, paragliding launch spots, and the Map of Africa lookout. It’s an adventurer’s dream with nature right on the doorstep.
