Great trips to Kruger National Park start here.

This is a backpacking guide for hiking and camping 2-10 days in the Drakensberg of South Africa. This guide includes 4 different routes of various difficulty and length, including the route as seen in my Youtube film. In addition, all practical information is included: how to get there, permits, weather, overnight options and practical tips. The Drakensberg mountains form part of the border between South Africa and the high plateau of Lesotho almost 1800 meters higher. These mountains are remote, and the terrain is challenging, but the landscape, views, caves for camping and people makes this my personal favorite hiking location in the world. What this guide includes: - 4 different itineraries with routes, distances, best overnight (camping) options and other useful waypoints; - custom Google Maps with all the important locations (campsites, grocery stores, parking lots, caves, water sources, trails and viewpoints); - gpx-tracks of all the routes. - all the practical information: how to get there, trail conditions, weather, geography and more.
