Mont-aux-Sources Hike | Drakensberg Adventure

Begin your epic journey at the Sentinel car park in the Drakensberg. Navigate right past the Witches, ascend the zig-zag trail around Sentinel’s base, and follow the contour path to the iconic chain ladder. Climb up and continue on the clear path to the breathtaking summit of Tugela Falls—the highest waterfall in Africa.

For guests at Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge, take advantage of the lodge’s transfer service to the trailhead. Experience a full-day adventure ‘to the top of the Berg,’ explore the vast highland plateau, then return refreshed—all in one seamless outing.
