TRAILS PARTNERS
Hiking Trails:
Due to the number of risks and challenges associated with safety, community and conservation along the Pondoland Coastline, Pondo Beach Camps (PBC) has identified trail partners through which all hiking trails are booked. Any other operator (or individual) wanting to use our camps as a stopover on a hiking trail must do so through one of these partners. This is to ensure that all safety, community approvals and conservation requirements are being met. Should your company wish to be considered as a trail partner, please send written motivation, including details/confirmation of the points mentioned below, for the attention of PBC management at info@pondobeachcamps.co.za . PBC management reserves the right to appoint or disqualify prospective trail partners.
Should you wish to book a hike through one of our existing trail partners, please contact info@pondobeachcamps.co.za and we will be able to connect you with the partner that will best cater for your particular trail needs.
Safety
Due to the inaccessibility, lack of mobile signal and the technical nature of the coastline, Pondoland poses considerable risks to individuals, companies and operators that:
· Do not have a comprehensive safety and evacuation plan in place.
· Do not have guides/tour leaders who have extensive experience in the area.
· Do not have necessary support structures in place in the area.
Community
The local communities in Pondoland form a fundamental part of the wellbeing of the area and the success and sustainability of PBC relies heavily on a healthy working relationship with these communities. Regular meetings and established communication channels with the various stakeholders are essential.
Conservation
Pondoland falls within an incredibly fragile centre of endemism and it is imperative that strict measures are taken to enforce low impact, environmentally sustainable tourism.
