The Mini Traverse (5 days) - Overview
The high traverse of the northern Drakensberg is one of the most popular hikes on the High Berg as this is arguably, the most spectacular section of the whole range. From the beginning to the end this hike is full of memorable views. The descent to the Cathedral Peak Hotel via the Bell Traverse is without a doubt the most remarkable day you can have in these mountains.
