Northern Traverse Fast Packing

Drakensberg Northern Traverse in 2 Days

70km. 2 days. Just enough time to question all your life choices.

Some say the Northern Traverse is best done over 5–6 days. Others say “nah, let’s do it in two and see who survives.”

This is the express version of the Drakensberg Northern Traverse. We’re talking 40km on Day 1, 30km on Day 2, and zero chance of your legs speaking to you afterward. Designed for the fittest, fastest, and most wonderfully unhinged mountain humans, this two-day mission will push you, break you, and weirdly delight you.

What’s Included – R7,500pp

• 1 night at Witsieshoek Lodge before the hike (breakfast included, dinner at own cost)
• Transfer from Cathedral Peak Hotel to Witsieshoek on Day 1, so your car is waiting at the finish
• Lightweight hiking gear: tent, sleeping bag, inflatable mat, backpack, and utensils
• 2x freeze-dried lunches, 1 mountain breakfast, 1 mountain dinner, and coffee (because obviously)
• Permits, park fees, and taxes handled
• Access to satellite comms and live tracking (in case you want to terrify your family in real time)
• An epic high five at the end. And maybe a guilt-free beer.

Small Group, Big Effort

This is no tourist trail. We cap it at 6 people max, keep the pace swift, the jokes questionable, and the stoke high.
