Hike Light, Explore Deep - Slackpacking in the Maluti Mountains
The Maluti Mountains are a hiker’s dream – vast, untamed, and full of dramatic scenery – and slackpacking makes this wilderness accessible to everyone. Instead of carrying heavy packs, your gear is transported for you, leaving you free to hike with just the essentials. In the Malutis, this means you can fully enjoy the crisp mountain air, sandstone cliffs glowing in the sun, and endless highland views without the weight slowing you down.
Slackpacking trails here range from gentle multi-day routes across rolling grasslands to more challenging treks that take you into remote valleys and over rugged escarpments. Each day offers the rewards of hiking – connection with nature, discovery of hidden streams, and the rhythm of walking – without the strain of hauling camping equipment. Comfortable overnight stays along the way, from mountain lodges to rural guesthouses, add a touch of ease to the adventure.
This style of hiking is perfect for those who want to experience the Malutis’ beauty at a slower pace, with time to notice the details – birdlife on the cliffs, flowers on the slopes, and the shifting colours of the mountains throughout the day. Slackpacking in the Maluti Mountains delivers all the challenge of a journey on foot with the comfort to truly savour it.
