Whether you prefer to stroll through secluded, shaded valleys, walk the rolling foothills, hike the upper reaches or take on the challenge of man against mountain, the Drakensberg is certainly a hikers paradise. The nicest thing about hiking trails in the Drakensberg is that there are so many fascinating landmarks that can be reached with a comfortable walk and the minimum of climbing. Recommended Drakensberg hiking trails The Drakensberg Mountains present three very different perspectives to its hikers. - Walking the lower reaches below the Drakensberg escarpment is the reason you came to this area. The Central and Northern Drakensberg offer a similar ecperience and it is the most impressive the Drakensberg has to offer. Above all Giants Castle Nature Reserve stands out. Try "Worlds View" an easy 3,5 hour hike (14 km) and ends with a spectacular 360 degree view.
- There is only one place you can reasonably get to the top of the Drakensberg escarpment and back down again in one day and that is at the Sentinel. The drive alone is spectacular. The walk is 5 hours 2,5 hours each way. You ascend the last 20 meters using a chain ladder and are rewarded with a view overlooking the Royal Natal Reserve. Also you are at the source of the Tugela river where it falls some 950m. 2nd highest in the world.
- Kamberg offers the most spectacular examples of rock art to be found in the Drakensberg. There are many places where Bushman rock art can be found but this is one of the few sites where your imagination is not a prerequisite.
