Wilderness Area (a World Heritage Site) and is administered by KZN Wildlife who
provide 5 overnight huts along the route - at Pholela (Cobham valley),
Mzimkhulwana, Winterhoek and Swimans (in the Drakensberg Gardens valley) and at
Bushmans Nek.

are not prepared to carry a heavy pack with all their own food and gear for 5
days, a new concept in "luxury hiking" or "slack-packing" has recently been

when the weather is predictable and mostly fine - outside of the summer
thunderstorms and cold winters.

planned for March to May, or September to November. Keep a look-out for
scheduled tours on our events calendar.
