The Slingsby Wild Coast Map covers the whole area from the coast to the N2 as far north as Mthatha, including the mighty Bawa Falls, the unbelievable Collywobbles, and the Mandela Museum at Qunu. The complex geog- raphy of the Wild Coast has always made access difficult – this is the map that has been designed to make exploration possible.
