Northern Drakensberg Traverse (6 days)
Oliver and Ben from the UK were attending a wedding in South Africa, so they took the opportunity to combine it with a 2 week holiday and do some of the things they love most, including kite surfing and hiking. Naturally they were both very fit and were keen for a hiking challenge in the high berg. Fortunately they had time and dedicated 6 days to their challenge. The choice of hike was obvious: start at the northern extreme of the Natal Drakensberg, the Sentinel Car Park, and walk southwards as far as we could, potentially including Mafadi, the highest peak in the Drakensberg, along the way. It was an ambitious idea but it had been done before. With a high standard of fitness and long days it was possible.
