Travel Tips
1. We urge visitors to travel to the Wild Coast during daylight hours, and slowly, as the roads are not fenced and you are likely to meet a Transkei speedtrap in the form of a large animal. There are also potholes which are unavoidable at any kind of speed, as well as small, misleading dirt tracks leading from the feeder roads, so it is all too easy to get lost at night.
2. Be alert for reckless drivers.
3. Bring good walking shoes along with you, something warm for unexpected temperature fluctuations, a costume, towel, hat, sunblock and a good insect repellent.

trip from Port St. Johns to Coffee Bay and East London
Who knows if we can make a trip in one day from our Hostel in Port St. Johns, go to Coffee Bay and see the Hole in the Wall and then drive at the same day to the hostel in East London.
We would like to have some advise about the trip, we think of driving on the N2 most of the time.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Mira,
It's doable, but that's a lot of driving for one day.
From Ports St Johns you'll go via Umtata to Coffee Bay/Hole in the Wall; and that's about 3 hours.
Then to East London will be about another 3 and a half to 4 hours.
I'd recommend breaking the trip into 2, and spending a night at Coffee Shack or Sugarloaf in Coffee Bay.
I think you'll have much more fun there than you will arriving late in E.L. :)
