Summer in South Africa | The Drakensberg
Welcome to the first episode of five where we explore some of the splendours that South Africa has to offer.
In this episode we visit the Drakensberg, which literally translates to Dragon Mountains. This incredibly beautiful ridge of mountains runs parallel to the South African east coast and reaches a height of almost 3500m above sea level.
The escarpment itself is an awesome cliff face up to 1000m high, jutting out from the rolling foot hills of Kwa Zulu Natal.
Our first camp is Mahai, Royal Natal National Park. Famous for it spectacular hikes, incredible scenery and also home to the worlds second highest waterfall - Tugela Falls which plunges 950m from its source in Lesotho. We hike to tugela gorge, the base of the waterfall and enjoy a chilly dip in the clear blue waters.
Royal Natal National Park is run by Ezemvelo KZN formally known as the Natal Parks Board, there are two accommodation options in the park, namely Mahai which is a very popular campsite alongside the Mahai river and Thendele, numerous self catering chalets set on top a ridge overlooking the Amphitheatre.
Bookings can be made directly with EKZN on their website:

Drakensberg mountains: Hiking & camping at Tugela Falls + road trip up Sani Pass in a Nissan Sani
We venture into the heart of the Drakensberg mountains to discover the natural beauty of South Africa's highest mountain range. Our adventures starts with a hike up the famous Sentinel Peak, a solid day's hike to over 3000m. This includes clambering up the infamous chain ladders to enter into Lesotho. The views at the top are incredible and well work the hike. We set up camp on top of the Drakensberg near the Tugela Falls - one of the highest waterfalls in the world - and swim in the rock pools at the top, overlooking a huge drop.
The morning sunlight bathes our camp and the mountains in golden light and is one of the most beautiful sights in South Africa. We are on top of the world, camped on the Mont-Aux-Sources plateau overlooking the Amphitheatre. Wild horses run free, metres from our camp-site. This is a truly special place to wake up.
Next up, we drive our Nissan Navara bakkies to join Andries Groenewald, a proud owner of a 1996 Nissan Sani. We are about to tackle and conquer the famous Sani Pass, one of the most dangerous mountain passes in the world, to reach Lesotho and the highest pub in Africa. The pass is not paved, and so a 4x4 is required to reach the top. This is a 4x4 adventure for us in the Navara's, but a bucket list experience for Andries in his aptly named Nisson Sani. Driving Sani Pass in the mist is terrifying, but we make it to the top of the mountain pass and enter into Lesotho with huge smiles on our faces.
The Drakensberg, also known as the 'Mountains of Dragons' or uKhalamba, ‘the barrier of spears’ in Zulu, is one of South Africa’s natural wonders spanning over 1 000 km in length with its highest peak, Thabana Ntlenyana, reaching a height of 3 482 metres in Lesotho making it the highest point in Southern Africa. This is one of the most beautiful places to visit in South Africa, and a must for any hiking or camping enthusiasts.
The Drakensberg is all about adventure and the outdoors and in this episode, the tough and rugged Nissan Navara, with its reputable 4x4 ability, took us on an incredible journey to the highest waterfall in Africa, Tugela Falls, Giants Castle and finally up the famous Sani Pass. We drive from South Africa into Lesotho on a road trip to remember.
The Journey, was made possible by Nissan South Africa, and our team included our very own Journeyman, Gero Lilleike, who was accompanied by special guests Josh Kempen (popular South African singer and songwriter), Lauren Melnick (travel blogger), Richard Haubrich (Instagram_SA) and Andries Groenewald, a proud owner of a 1996 Nissan Sani.

Dragon Mountains, Drakensberg - South Africa
The Drakensberg (Afrikaans: Drakensberge, Zulu: uKhahlamba, Sotho: Maluti) is the eastern portion of the Great Escarpment, which encloses the central Southern African plateau. The Great Escarpment reaches its greatest elevation – 2,000 to 3,482 metres (6,562 to 11,424 feet) within the border region of South Africa and Lesotho. The Afrikaans name Drakensberge comes from the name the earliest Dutch settlers gave to the escarpment, namely Drakensbergen, or Dragons' Mountains. The highest portion of the Great Escarpment is known in Zulu as uKhahlamba and as Maluti in Sotho (Barrier of up-pointed spears).
Drakensberg, Güney Afrika platosunun doğu kesimine verilen addır. Yerli dilde Ejderha Dağları anlamındaki Drakensberge szöcüğünden gelmektedir. 3000 metreye varan yükseklikteki sıradağlardan oluşmaktadır. Güneyde Doğu Kap'tan başlayıp Lesotho sınırını izleyen Drakensberg'in toplam uzunluğu 1000 kilometrenin üzerindedir.

Hiking the Amphitheatre in Drakensberg, South Africa
When the opportunity came to hike up one of the most impressive cliff faces on earth we seized the opportunity. The Amphitheatre, an impressive geographical feature of Northern Drakensberg, dwarfs Yosemite's famous El Capitan by being more than ten times its size! The 5-6 hour hike (including return trip) would be classified as lower-intermediate from my point of view. Many parts of the hike are beginner level; however, certain aspects including parts of the path not being well-defined, having to ascend and/or descent 21 meter chain ladders and a few rougher patches add a layer of challenge. We made it as far as the chain ladders before our 'fear of heights' rendered us having a quiet lunch while the rest of the group continued on. Had we made it to the top we would have been able to witness the magnificent Tugela Falls. Sometimes it is good to push through your comfort zone; however, it is equally important to realize when something just isn't a good fit. In the end we were content we stopped where we did.

Hiking the Amphitheatre in Drakensberg, South Africa Travel Video Transcript:
Alright, so this morning we are in Drakensberg. That means the dragon's mountain. And we're going to be doing a bit of a hike on a stretch that is called the Amphitheatre. And yeah, the Drakensberg are actually the border between South Africa and Lesotho. So that is a pretty cool little fact. We've been told to prepare for any kind of weather. It could be sunny. It could be rainy. It could be snowing any minute. So we're ready for some adventure. Let's go hiking!
I've really been enjoying the views so far. I would classify this as a lower-intermediate hike. It is not for people who really have a fear of heights. There are some vertical parts where you have to go up ladders and down ladders. And that part would be a deal breaker for some people. But as far as the views and just the actual hike itself it is really enjoyable.
So this is actually one of the ladders that you have to climb down on the way back. And I believe there are two sets of ladders to deal with. So something to consider if you are afraid of heights. We've actually decided to just stay back and enjoy a very relaxed lunch because neither Sam nor I enjoy heights and this was making us a little bit nervous. But everyone else was very adventurous, very brave so you can give it a try if you come out here.
Okay, so now it is time for lunch. Woo!
Alright, so we are coming to the end of our hike here in Drakensberg. And even though we didn't reach the top it was still an incredible trip. Like it was so scenic, so beautiful, so I'm glad we came. And if you find yourself traveling through South Africa definitely consider this region.
This is part of our Travel in South Africa series. We're making a series of videos showcasing South African culture, South African arts, South African foods, South African religion, South African cuisine and South African people.

Tugela Falls is a complex of seasonal waterfalls located in the Drakensberg (Dragon's Mountains)
Tugela Falls is a complex of seasonal waterfalls located in the Drakensberg (Dragon's Mountains) of Royal Natal National Park in KwaZulu-Natal Province, Republic of South Africa. According to some measurements, it is the world's tallest waterfall. A revisited validation of waterfall measurements is not available, and there's still uncertainty whether Tugela or Venezuela's Angel Falls is the tallest (both measurements were taken at considerable distance from the two waterfalls)
Scenic walk in rural Drakensberg, South Africa
While basing ourselves in Northern Drakensberg for several days we stayed on a lovely property (Amphitheatre backpackers) that branched off to an airstrip, river and isolated tree. After spending a bit of time in Johannesburg it was the perfect scenic retreat. These days I'm starting to feel more in touch with my roots and quiet remote areas are more appealing to me than sprawling cities.

Scenic walking in rural Drakensberg, South Africa Travel Video Transcript:
So, good morning. Today we are in Northern Drakensberg. We've been staying at a really cool hostel called Amphitheater backpackers. And they have a little hike that you can do just outside of their property. So we're just over at the gate right now. We're going to head out and do a little bit of exploring on foot.
It's a beautiful morning. We witnessed the most amazing sunrise yet again. And now it is time for a bit of exercise.
We're at a crossroads over here. Big tree this way. Big Dam that way. Oh, which way will we go? Okay, this way. It is decided. Big tree.
This is like falling the yellow brick road. Come on, sing it for us. Follow the yellow brick road. Follow the yellow brick road.
So we are at an another crossroads. We can go towards the airstrip or towards the river. I think we're going to choose the river just because it is starting to get really hot. I've already started taking off several layers. And we're running out of time. And some water would be nice.
I really enjoyed this walk. Sometimes it is great to just get off of the beaten track once in a while and just relax.
And that concludes our little walk around. I think it is time for a cold beer.
This is part of our Travel in South Africa series. We're making a series of videos showcasing South African culture, South African arts, South African foods, South African religion, South African cuisine and South African people.
