The best web overview of hiking in the land of the original “trekkers” is Safari Now.
With over 1,950 listed hikes, South Africa is a fantastic hiking destination.
… All laid out hikes are signposted, usually with painted icons on rocks, and most hiking authorities supply maps. Most multi-day hikes offer accommodation in basic, but clean and adequate, hiking huts that usually have a million-dollar view to go with the low rent facilities.
Hiking in Southern Africa – Safari Now
The best region of all is the Drakensberg.
The impressive bulk of the mountains the Zulus called Ukahlamba – the barrier of spears – and the Voortrekkers called the Drakensberg – the dragon mountain – is an impressive rampart of sandstone and basalt that separates the well watered Indian Ocean coast from the dryer, harsher interior.
Most of the escarpment falls under the Ukahlamba-Drakensberg National Park. This beautiful montane grassland is bright green in summer after the rains and fades to a delicate blonde, often with snowy highlights, in winter.
It’s a great hiking destination with a range of trails from walks of an hour or two to long epics such as the Drakensberg Traverse, which takes about three to four weeks.

Greg says: “The Drakensberg (Dragon Mountain) is an incredible mountain range located in the centre of South Africa. It is my soul’s home ….”

That looks to be one great route!
By the way, I don’t know if I or anyone else has noted it yet, but as far as ‘Best Hikes’ go – what about how the three Alpine Routes in Lake O’Hara which can be linked up?
They are “All Souls”, “Yukness Ledges”, and the “Huber Ledges”. We have returned to this world class area over many summers and these Alpine Ledges offer some of the most terrific views in the Canadian Rockies…

We’ve included those routes under our information page:

I suspect we have hiked past one another at some time at O’Hara. My friends go every year and I join them most years.
This is the first in about 18-years that we do not have a reservation.
(I was not available in any case.)
Perhaps I will get out for a day or two during the changing of the Larch.
Hope to see you on the trail.
Great reminder… The changing of the larches…
Maybe we will indeed.
