Location: South Africa » Kwazulu Natal » Drakensberg » Southern Drakensberg

The Southern Drakensberg offers superb hiking opportunities to all, young and old, fit and unfit.  From short rambles to overnight hiking, experience the views, the peace and swims in mountain streams.

Most of the walks are in the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park, administered by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife but some private landowners also offer interesting walks.  All hikers on KZN Wildlife land must purchase an entry permit first.  Always take a waterproof jacket with you when hiking - the weather can change very quickly in the berg!  Also pack energy food, a water bottle, sunscreen and a cap.  Hiking maps are sold at the KZN Wildlife base offices as well as the following shops:  The Giants Cup, Southern Drakensberg Information Office, and The Highlander.
