DRAKENSBERG
KwaZulu-Natal
South Africa
Mountain of the Dragons
South Africa’s mightiest
mountain range with its spear-like peaks – reminiscent of the saw-toothed spine
of a gigantic dragon.

DRAKENSBERG WILDERNESS
7 DAY SOLO HIKE
RIVER VALLEYS – KAMBERG TO GIANTS CASTLE
During September 2016 I decided to do yet another 7 day solo hike through the magnificent Drakensberg Wilderness. My objective this time was to explore the river valleys lying between Kamberg and Giants Castle. It is pure untouched wilderness hiking and I had the time of my life! Here are some photos taken on the various days. Space unfortunately prevents me from placing more photos.
Day One – Kamberg, up Game Pass Valley, follow river to Nzinga River
Day Two – Explore River Valleys
Day Three – Explore River Valleys
Day Four – To the Mfulankomo River Valley and up to The Sisters at altitude
Day Five – Source of Ncibidwana River down the River Valley
Day Six – Ncibidwana Valley to Meander Stream Junction
Day Seven – Meander Stream to source basin and on to Giants Castle Camp
We as hikers, explorers,
and adventurers have the absolute duty to respect and protect our Wildernesses.
Nobody else will do it for us. Take ownership!
The End.
Safe Hiking.
