Drakensberg Adventures: Where Wild Still Reigns
High in the KwaZulu-Natal escarpment, the Drakensberg offers raw, untamed adventure. Towering basalt cliffs, ancient San rock art, and the rare bearded vulture all reside within the Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg Park — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and South Africa’s ultimate mountain playground.
Hike the high trails, where solitude is guaranteed and every step delivers staggering views. Ice climb in the only region in South Africa where it's possible. Ride the legendary Sani Pass by 4x4 or take to the skies by heli-mountain bike for an adrenaline-fueled descent. Prefer serenity? Float above it all in a hot air balloon, watching the jagged landscape unfold in silence.
The lower foothills serve up a different kind of thrill:
Kayak or raft crystal-clear rivers, zip through treetops on aerial cableways, and swing out over ravines. Paragliders paint the sky, while horseback rides and motorbike journeys connect you to hidden valleys and small, soulful towns.
But the heart of the Drakensberg still beats in its heights.
Answer the call. Strap on a backpack and join a guided expedition into the quiet wild — where the trail becomes the story.
