… some day.
One of our contributors, George Novak, lived in South Africa and is always urging me to get there for “trekking”.
Top of my list — the Drakensberg Mountains in Kwa-Zula Natal.
Garth and Lee-Anne from GoVertical Mountaineering Adventures guide routes including:
The uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park is a World Heritage site of incredible basalt cliffs, giant peaks, dramatic pinnacles, pristine rivers and ancient San Rock Art. Join GoVertical for a guided backpacking experience along the Drakensberg Great Escarpment, a wilderness area which separates South Africa’s coastal lowlands from the highveld plateau.
All Drakensberg Traverse Treks include:
GoVertical Mountaineering guides, all meals & necessary restocks, Park fees, general camping gear, a celebratory dinner & B&B accommodation on the last night at a local mountain lodge
I’m tempted to sign on for a guided hike on my first trek in South Africa. Security is a bit of an issue in that country. It’s safe — but you need to know which areas to avoid. Tourists sometimes make the mistake of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
