THE HIGHEST DRAKENSBERG PEAK
A scenic 2 day Circular hike to the summit of the highest point in the Southern Africa: Thabana Ntlenyana stands 3482m on the Lesotho side of the Drakensberg.

From the Top of Sani Pass in the Southern Drakensberg we head out along the Tsani River contouring around the ridges onto the Manaung River. We hike through the rugged Lesotho highlands to  gain access to Thabana Ntlenyana.

We'll camp along the clear river and return on a route that takes us to the edge of the Drakensberg escarpment with splendid views over the Mkhomazi Wilderness & Cobham then back to Sani Pass and South Africa's highest Pub, Sani Top Chalet.

The Amphitheatre in the Ukahlamba World Hertitage site, Northern Drakensberg, is the most photographed formation in the range, with good reason, it's spectacular. Join us for 2 days exploring the beauty of the Amphitheatre from above & below.

We'll take you to the top of the Amphitheatre, passing the mighty Sentinel and countour our way to the base of the famous chain ladders which we use to gain access to the Mont-Aux-Sorces Plateau. The plateau is the sorce of many of South africa's rivers including the Tugela which winds its way down to the Indian Ocean near Durban.

A great spot to enjoy lunch, the escarpment is about 3000m above sea level and from the edge of the Amphitheatre, you'll have spectacular views of the Tugela falls disappearing into the vast valleys below the Amphitheatre.

Choose camping or mountain lodge accommodation & the following day sees us exploring the Tugela Gorge from the Royal Natal National Park. With its massive overhangs & beautiful rock pools, The Tugela Gorge hike affords you incredible views of the Sentinel, Devils Tooth and Amphitheatre as you wind along the river.

Keen for adventure? We'll set up a Free fall Abseil (optional) into one of the bigger river pools, it's quite a thrill! During winter the abseil has a dry landing, no need to get cold in the icy mountain water, but in summer you can take a dip.  After  boulder hopping & exploration in the gorge, we rejoin the path & wind our way back along the river.
