A 1.5 DAY HIKE IN THE CENTRAL DRAKENSBERG
A hike and easy scramble up a small but prominent peak topping out onto a small summit. The hike starts and ends at 1680m. The highest point is 2973m at the summit. The total distance is 16kms to the summit and back.
The hiking is all on trail. On the summit day there is steep hiking including some easy scramble sections. The guide takes a safety rope for this. You could see wild animals including antelope, baboons and the rare Bearded Vulture. We hike to base camp and stay in small mountain tents at the foot of the peak and then do the climb the next day and return home.
We guide this hike at any time of the year. Summer is between November and March and is hot and humid. Autumn and winter have warm days and frosty nights down to minus 8C. Porters are available on request.
