PEAK HIGH Mountaineering

3 days and 3 nights in the Northern Drakensberg. A circular route taking in some of South Africa’s most spectacular mountains. High and very rugged, we summit Cleft Peak early on day two.
Hiking is on steep paths and some off-trail hiking. You need to be fit able to carry your own rucksack. A few places are exposed, so a good head for heights is needed.

A trekking peak and one of South Africa’s highest mountains, including a steep and rough ascent on summit day. The hike starts and ends at 1580m with the highest point, 3333m. The total distance is 42kms.

The hiking is mostly on trail but includes a rough and steep ascent and descent of Grey’s Pass. You need to be fit and strong and able to hike with a full backpack for up to 6 hours a day. You will see wild animals including antelope, baboons and the rare Bearded Vulture. We stay in small mountain tents at the base camp of Keith Bush Camp.

A popular and iconic 3005m peak with a C grade scramble to the summit.

One and a half days in the Central Drakensberg. You need to be fit and able to carry your own backpack and have a head for heights for the scramble section at the top. This is a C grade scramble and the guide uses a rope for extra safety.
The hike is on a well marked path. We take one and half days to complete the hike with a total hiking distance of 22kms.
