Immerse yourself in a true mountain wilderness experience, on this multi day hike. Roughly 220km, this hike makes its way through the impressive and ancient Drakensberg mountains in South Africa and the neighbouring country of Lesotho. Encounters with Basotho herdsmen, their sheep and goats and the chance to catch a glimpse of the endangered Bearded Vulture nesting on the cliffs of the escarpment make this hike something truly special.
This hike usually requires 14 days in the mountains including a food resupply – but can be done in 7 days for those of a slightly above average level of fitness, with no resupply required. This hike is for those who wish to experience nature in all its raw and wild beauty. Immerse yourself in the big mountains, sleeping in tents and caves (when we can!) and dodging thunder storms.
Day 1 is travel and arrival at Cederberg Park, Kromrivier. Days 2 to 8 are spent hiking, day 9 is spent decompressing at Kromrivier and on day 10 we travel back to Cape Town.
This multi-day hike takes place in rugged mountain areas and can be strenuous and challenging. The hiking surface is on technical trails. Some surfaces are quite rocky and stability and good hiking shoes are required. Hikers need to be healthy and hiking fit and be able to manoeuvre steep inclines/descents and rocky terrain for the duration of the hike. Participants require a good level of fitness.
