​
The Drakensberg Mountains are the 1,000 km long mountain range that stretches between the Kruger National Park, the Blyde River Canyon in the north and the eastern border, and the Kingdom of Lesotho in the south. Numerous peaks are over 3,000 m high.
Day 1
We enjoy the magnificent Amphitheatre in the “Royal Natal National Park” from the hut. The 3,165 m high Sentinel borders the rock face to the west and the Eastern Buttress at 3,047 m to the east. The waters of the Tugela River fall here in several cascades, totalling 948 m.
​
Day 2
Hike in the “Giant’s Castle Game Reserve”. Giant’s Castle lies on a plateau, surrounded by deep valleys and the bizarre mountain peaks of the Drakensberg. Unique San rock paintings, the largest and best preserved in South Africa, can be found here in a unique natural setting where eland and baboons live. The park is also known for its vulture population. The hike in the footsteps of the Bushmen
takes us through the rugged walls along crystal-clear streams to the most beautiful Bushman drawings in South Africa, which are sure to inspire you, too.
​
Day 3 - 4
Continue to Underberg. From here, we cross the 2,895 m high Sani Pass, where the border between South Africa and Lesotho runs. North of the pass rises the 3,482 m high Thabana–Ntlenyana, the highest peak in Southern Africa.
​
Day 5
Drive to Durban to the airport. This trip can be easily combined with the “Zululand trip”. Other highlights in Kwa-Zulu Natal that can be added to the above trips:
