Upcoming Hikes and Expedition

Mnweni is regarded as one of the most scenic, if not most scenic, region in the Drakensberg Mountains. Due to its remoteness it does not receive as much traffic as hikes like Tugela Falls and Cathedral Peak. What we’re saying is that we probably won’t cross paths with another hiking group and will have the whole mountain range to ourselves.

Photo captured by Patrick Richardson while hiking up Mnweni Pass on day 2 of this incredible 3 day hike. The basalt pinnacles you see in the background are the Mnweni Pinnacles, one of Drakensbergs most unique structures.

The Mnweni Circuit Hike covers 46km over a 3 day period with nearly 2000 meters of elevation gain and loss. We rate this hike as moderate in Drakensberg standards. We spend one night sleeping in tents in the valley while the next night is spent in a cave on top of the escarpment, either Ledgers Cave or Mponjwane Cave. Both offer hikers a spectacular view.

The cost for this hike is R3,300 per person and includes:

• qualified mountain guide and wilderness first responder
• dinners, breakfasts and hot drinks on the mountain which our team will prepare
• equipment including 4 season tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, backpacks and eating utensils
• hiking permits and park fees.

The Tugela Falls Hike is known by many names… Sentinel Peak Hike and Amphitheatre Hike. It is one of the best hikes to do in Drakensberg as it offers such incredible views for such minimal effort. The hike covers 14km over a 2 day period, 7 & 7, with 450 meters of elevation gain.

This makes it the easiest route to access the top of the Drakensberg Escarpment. For example, majority of hikes will take you two full days of hiking with 2000 meters of elavtion gain to reach the top.

The hike can be done in a day however you are missing out on a few key elements which include:

• sunrise (best part in our opinion)
• sunset (also a goodie)
• stargazing ( not talking about the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp series ).

How much more convincing do you need? Well how about the fact that this is a fully catered hike? Yes that’s right. We handle everything except transport from JHB so besides that everything else is on us including meals and equipment. The cost is R2,700 per person and includes:

• Return shuttle from Witsiesheok mountain lodge to sentinel car park
• qualified mountain guide and wilderness first responder
• dinner, breakfast and hot drinks on the mountain
• equipment including 4 season tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, backpacks and eating utensils
• hiking permits and park fees.

Cathedral Peak is the highest, non-technical, free-standing mountain in South Africa and is a popular choice among hikes. We do this hike a bit differently to most companies. We spend 3 days tackling this peak unlike the usual two days. This makes the hike a lot easier and more enjoyable. We spend two nights sleeping in a cave while the middle day is spent ascending Cathedral Peak without a backpack! Pure bliss.

This hike covers 21km over the 3 day period, 4km on day 1, 13km on day 2, and 4km on day 3. Because of the short distance we do on day 1, our meeting time is only at 12pm,. This gives us plenty of time to introduce ourselves, do a pack check as well as a hike briefing and still arrive at Sherman’s Cave long before sunset. Because the hike is so short on the way down, generally not taking more than an hour, we like to stop at the Cathedral Peak Hotel for breakfast before driving back to whichever hobbit hole we came from.

The cost for this hike is R3,300 per person and includes:

• Qualified mountain guide and wilderness first responder
• dinners, breakfasts and hot drinks on the mountain
• equipment including sleeping bags, sleeping mats, backpacks, 3 ping pong balls and eating utensils
• hiking permits
• summit certificate.

The Drakensberg Northern Traverse is one of South Africa’s most spectacular hikes. We offer this hike over a 6 day period and walk along the escarpment edge for a more scenic, yet challenging experience. The Northern Traverse starts at Sentinel Car Park and follows the escarpment throughout the northern drakensberg until reaching the Cathedral Peak Hotel.

The cost for this hike is R10,000 per person and includes:

• Return transport from JHB
• Qualified mountain guide
• Hiking permits and park fees
• Dinners, breakfasts, lunches and hot drinks on the mountain
• Equipment including tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, backpacks and eating utensils
• Shuttle from witsieshoek mountain lodge to sentinel car park

An incredible 4 day, 3 night hike to the highest peak in South Africa. This hike is rated as one of the harder hikes that we offer due to the 2000 meters of elevation gain we will do over the first two days. That amounts to 1000m each day.

The hike covers 64km over the 4 day period and is generally done as a circular route. Notice the wording “generally”? Safety is very important to us thus we don’t have a set route as heavy rains can cause the route to change. This rarely happens so we often make use of the circular route which takes us up Corner Pass and down Leslie’s Pass.

A cute couples photo taken on our way up Corners Pass. The Trojan Wall can be seen in the background.

Our meeting point for this hike is at Injasuthi Camp at 10am. We recommend taking a drive down the day before and staying about halfway, avoiding the early wake up call at 4am to drive down from JHB. You can catch us at Injasuthi the night before where we will buy you a beer. The cost for this hike is R4,000 per person and includes the following:

• qualified mountain guide and wilderness first responder
• dinners, breakfasts and hot drinks on the mountain which our team will prepare
• equipment including 4 season tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, backpacks and eating utensils.
• hiking permits and park fees
• endless supply of dad jokes to keep you highly motivated throughout your trek with us.

The Bell Traverse, situated in the Central Drakensberg, is easily one of the top 5 hikes and is quite unique to other hiking trails in the Drakensberg. This is because Cathedral Peak is home to many of Drakensbergs free-standing basalt towers which include Cathedral Peak,

The Bell, The Inner and Outer Horns, The Mitre and The Chessmen. All of these peak are part of the Bell Traverse. We spend day 1 hiking up to the escarpment top via Organ Pipes Pass. Our home for this night is in what I believe to be the most scenic cave in the Drakensberg, Roland’s Cave. Day 2 sees us hiking along the escarpment edge to Twins Cave where we will spend the next night.

The third day takes us along the Bell Traverse, amongst some giant basalt pinnacles. We have the option to summit cathedral peak today. Our home for the night will be at the base of the peak. The final day sees us descending to the hotel. We should be down by 12pm.

We rate this hike as moderate in difficulty however there are some exposed sections along the route so a head for heights is a must. Our meeting point for this hike is located at Cathedral Peak Hotel at 9:30am. We aim to start hiking by 10:30am. The hike covers just under 50km over the 4 day period with around 2000m of elevation gain in total. The cost for the hike is R4,400 per person and includes:

The Tugela Falls Hike is known by many names… Sentinel Peak Hike and Amphitheatre Hike. It is one of the best hikes to do in Drakensberg as it offers such incredible views for such minimal effort. The hike covers 14km over a 2 day period, 7 & 7, with 450 meters of elevation gain.

This makes it the easiest route to access the top of the Drakensberg Escarpment. For example, majority of hikes will take you two full days of hiking with 2000 meters of elavtion gain to reach the top.

The hike can be done in a day however you are missing out on a few key elements which include:

• sunrise (best part in our opinion)
• sunset (also a goodie)
• stargazing ( not talking about the Amber Heard and Johnny Depp series ).

How much more convincing do you need? Well how about the fact that this is a fully catered hike? Yes that’s right. We handle everything except transport from JHB so besides that everything else is on us including meals and equipment. The cost is R2,700 per person and includes:

• Return shuttle from Witsiesheok mountain lodge to sentinel car park
• qualified mountain guide and wilderness first responder
• dinner, breakfast and hot drinks on the mountain
• equipment including 4 season tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, backpacks and eating utensils
• hiking permits and park fees.

Cathedral Peak is the highest, non-technical, free-standing mountain in South Africa and is a popular choice among hikes. We do this hike a bit differently to most companies. We spend 3 days tackling this peak unlike the usual two days. This makes the hike a lot easier and more enjoyable. We spend two nights sleeping in a cave while the middle day is spent ascending Cathedral Peak without a backpack! Pure bliss.

This hike covers 21km over the 3 day period, 4km on day 1, 13km on day 2, and 4km on day 3. Because of the short distance we do on day 1, our meeting time is only at 12pm,. This gives us plenty of time to introduce ourselves, do a pack check as well as a hike briefing and still arrive at Sherman’s Cave long before sunset. Because the hike is so short on the way down, generally not taking more than an hour, we like to stop at the Cathedral Peak Hotel for breakfast before driving back to whichever hobbit hole we came from.

The cost for this hike is R3,300 per person and includes:

• Qualified mountain guide and wilderness first responder
• dinners, breakfasts and hot drinks on the mountain
• equipment including sleeping bags, sleeping mats, backpacks, 3 ping pong balls and eating utensils
• hiking permits
• summit certificate.

An incredible 4 day, 3 night hike to the highest peak in South Africa. This hike is rated as one of the harder hikes that we offer due to the 2000 meters of elevation gain we will do over the first two days. That amounts to 1000m each day.

The hike covers 64km over the 4 day period and is generally done as a circular route. Notice the wording “generally”? Safety is very important to us thus we don’t have a set route as heavy rains can cause the route to change. This rarely happens so we often make use of the circular route which takes us up Corner Pass and down Leslie’s Pass.

Our meeting point for this hike is at Injasuthi Camp at 10am. We recommend taking a drive down the day before and staying about halfway, avoiding the early wake up call at 4am to drive down from JHB. You can catch us at Injasuthi the night before where we will buy you a beer. The cost for this hike is R4,000 per person and includes the following:

• qualified mountain guide and wilderness first responder
• dinners, breakfasts and hot drinks on the mountain which our team will prepare
• equipment including 4 season tents, sleeping bags, sleeping mats, backpacks and eating utensils.
• hiking permits and park fees
• endless supply of dad jokes to keep you highly motivated throughout your trek with us.
