(4)
This Section is called the Giants Cup trail, covering a distance of 60km over 5 days from Sani Pass to Bushman's Nek. The Drakensberg Camino is not only a hike, but a journey, pilgrimage, or whatever you decide to make it. Over five nights, you will be guided from Sani Pass to Bushman’s Nek, taking in the glory that is the Southern Drakensberg during the day and staying in rustic huts every night.
Enjoy the wide-open sky and majestic peaks, plus a night's stay at The Old Hatchery hotel on either side of the journey. Kyran Pratt will be your passionate and knowledgeable guide throughout the hike, preparing a delicious South African supper, cooked with enthusiasm every night of your hike. This Camino is for anyone of Intermediate fitness, with a desire to explore the Drakensberg’s stunning valleys, gleaming rivers, and dramatic peaks in a safe, well-paced and relaxed environment. Don’t miss out on this incredible journey; be sure to request our full Information Pack to find out all the details or give us a call for queries.
We all spend so much time making sure everyone else and everything else is taken care of. Day to day life has its demands and pressures and we sometimes forget to spend time on ourselves, making sure we are good to carry on.
The Journey Is Yours.

Ever wondered what we mean by having a cooked dinner every night?

We understand that everybody is different and that not everyone shares the same idea when it comes to exploring the Drakensberg. Maybe the group hikes are not your thing, maybe our hikes that have been advertised are too short and too easy or maybe you have nobody to hike with but really just want to go anyway?
What ever the case may be, we are passionate about getting you out there!
Here the journey really can be yours, contact us and we would love to chat with you and plan your next adventure with you for you, its that simple!
A little over a month to go before we kick things off again in October. There is limited space around the fire, 4 places left!
Its almost too late to book, but almost is ok. Contact us to make a booking, don't miss out !
