Monks Cowl Nature Reserve
Drakensberg & Surroundings, KwaZulu Natal © Monks Cowl Nature Reserve
Monk's Cowl is named after the peak located between the towering mountains of
Champagne Castle and Cathkin Peak, and makes a portion of the two hundred and
forty three thousand hectare Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park. Monk's Cowl is the
access point for the Mlambonja and Mdedelo wilderness areas.
The area is well known for its majestic scenery and provides hikers with a
number of excellent hiking routes , which snake through the deep valleys and
forests of the Northern Drakensberg eventually leading up onto the main
escarpment. The routes vary in length, from a few hours to several days, and
cater for hikers of all levels of fitness. Overnight hiking must be booked in
advance.
The area features a campsite which accommodates ninety people in a variety of
camping and caravan sites. Each spacious campsite has its own barbecue facility
with firewood available. The campsite is serviced by two ablution blocks, of
which one has showers with hot and cold water, whilst the other has toilets
only. Bot feature flush toilets, dishwashing and laundry basins. The sites are
not numbered. The lower section of the campsite is reserved for 4x4 vehicles
which can traverse the steep road. The mountain campsites of Keith Bush Camp and
Cowl Fork campsite have no facilities and hikers must be suitably equiped.
Campsites and caves are booked directly with the Camp Office.
