Best Drakensberg hiking experience

5.00Two weeks ago was my first overnight hike in the Drakensberg. Veza, Lungelo and team were excellent. The most patient and considerate hike guides I had the pleasure of walking Tugela Falls with. We hiked as a large group of 13 people. It was a tough one for me (I was at the back of the group) but again, the guides support your pace and help were they can. I will be doing more hikes with the team! Highly recommend.

5.00Amazing experience, breathtaking views and my favourite hike in South Africa thus far☺️. Pranesh prepared us very well for the hike, communicated effectively, advised on weather conditions, what to expect and made the hike a memorable one. Unforgettable experience with spectacular views that take your breath away. If you have not hiked Tugela Falls yet, I highly recommend that you do soon.

5.00This was such an amazing trip, everything about it was memorable. The guide was great fun, easy to communicate with and very mindful. Hike with people who enjoy the outdoors as much as you do and who are fun and easy going. This is one for the books.
