    • And here we go! top of Mafadi, at 3450m the highest point in South Africa
    • Top of Mlambonja Pass with the Cathedral Peak Range behind us
    • Heading towards Blind Man's Corner, underneath Cathkin Peak
    • Northern Drakensberg Traverse
    • Mafadi, SA's Highest Peak
    • Cathedral Peak Circuit
    • Champagne Castle Peak

    • 5 days/4 nights

      Also known as the Mini Traverse, this is probably the most spectacular hike you can do in the Drakensberg. It is considered as one of the world’s best hikes by National Geographic.

    • 4 days/3 nights

      At 3450m above sea level, Mafadi is South Africa’s highest point. This is a great hike for those training for Kilimanjaro or any other major peak, or for simply experiencing the impressive High Berg.

    • 3 days/2 nights

      A hike in the Cathedral Peak Area, similar to the bell traverse, but tenting the first night instead of staying at Roland’s Cave. The last day we can choose whether we’ll go down the Mlabonja Pass or the Bell Traverse, depending on the group’s confidence and the weather conditions.

    • 3 days/2 nights

      Champagne Castle Peak at 3,377m is the third highest point in South Africa. Without technical difficulties all you need for this hike is a good physical condition, a head for heights and an appeal for adventure. It is an exhilarating hiking experience with great views!
