General Information

Kenton-on-Sea is located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa and situated between two gorgeous rivers called the Bushmans River and the Kariega River. But next to the absolutely stunning beaches there is more to do in the environment of Kenton. Think of horse riding, snorkling, river sports, game viewing and so on. Browse to the Kenton-on-Sea page to read my reviews about various activities I have done in the environment of Kenton or go to the Kenton Website for information about accommodations and other stuff. But besides of all the fun activities to do here in Kenton there is also a lot of help needed by improving the conditions of the communties in the townships. Luckely there are already some fantastic organisations which are working on this goal. One of those organisations is called Kariega Project.

Kariega Project is a non profit organisation which focuses on creating an ecosystem in which the communities can use their available resources like talent, willpower, passion and people. The Kariega Credit System is a result of this focus. The Kariega Credit System is a virtual marketplace where communities can sponsor projects or social services by doing community service. One hour of community service is equal to 1 Kariega Credit which is equal to 20 South African Rand. Through this system an opportunity is given to the community to help improving their own environment. Read more about Kariega Project on their website but go to my Kariega Project page to read all about my view on the projects, for reviews of volunteers, to see what is happening and more.

Beachcomber Horse Trails

One of the first things Jenny ever asked me was: ‘Do you like horse riding?’ So when I told her I did Jenny immediately started talking about Beachcomber Horse Trails and about the beautiful beach trails. Because I always wanted to go on a beach trail but it just never happened for some reason I decided that I definitely would get in contact with Jono from Beachcomber Horse Trails.

So last Tuesday I sent a text message to Jono about when I could join him for a trail. I received a message back after only two minutes (well done Jono) that I could join a trail the next day. I then decided to go with my roommate Paige. While I actually was expecting a kind of riding school as we have them in The Netherlands I arrived at a meadow. This wasn’t a bad thing though, I was just surprised. It was going to be a slow ride because there was a family joining with little kids. But I actually didn’t mind that because it has been a while since the last time I went horse riding.

After everybody climbed on their horses we were ready to go. A little while after we left we saw impalas in the bushes behind the fences from the reserve of Addo. Awesome. Just before we entered the beach we had a stunning view of the beach and the sea.



I can’t say anything else than that I enjoyed the beach trail very much. The beaches here are just so stunning that you actually can’t do anything but enjoying them. The only thing that was a pity was the fact that my horse wanted to be as last while Paige’s horse wanted to be in the front so we couldn’t really chat. I would love to go again but next time I’m going for that fast gallop ;).
