The Northern Drakensberg





Our South African holiday kicked off with a 4-night stay in the Northern Drakensberg mountains. Situated approximately half-way between Johannesburg and  Durban, this beautiful part of the country offers superb hiking opportunities

We stayed at Montusi Mountain Lodge - what a treat! Guests are accommodated in comfy thatched cottages, all overlooking the famous Amphitheatre escarpment....

There is so much to do! Hiking, mountain biking, swimming, fly fishing, golf, quad biking, paint balling, horse riding are all on offer... it was hard finding the time to just relax and enjoy the views.

Here are a few photos from our hikes around the Montusi estate...

  3. We spent two weeks in the Northern Drakensberg camping at Mahai and the Drakensville ATKV a couple of years ago. Still one of my favorite holidays even though we had rain for most of it. Would love to go back.
