Hiking in the Southern Drakensberg KwaZulu Natal South Africa
The many hiking trails of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park offer a suitable choice for any level of fitness and we encourage anyone who enjoys the outdoors to go hiking in this pristine environment. The fresh air and crystal clear rivers and streams remind one of the pureness of what nature can be!
The never ending vistas of rolling grasslands and jagged crags of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg mountains, ever changing with weather, season, and time of day, giving each hiking trail a life of its own.
Most of the Southern Drakensberg hiking trails allow you to overnight in a cave or a tent. Sleeping in a cave enclosed by indigenous forest and with water cascading over the front is the most unbelievable experience.
For those that prefer a little more luxury while hiking, camping facilities with ablutions are available at:
You can use our interactive Southern Drakensberg Map to go on a virtual hike right now -- we have all the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg hiking trails linked and clickable on the map -- or use the Hikes of the Southern Drakensberg Page for a list of available hiking trails.
It is advisable that inexperienced hikers use an experienced mountain guide for the longer walks as the 'Berg's weather can be rather treacherous. For travellers that only have a short time to spend in the Southern Drakensberg, it is better to use the services of a safari tour company.
