Getting to Sentinel Peak with a private car is super hard, a 4x4 is recommended. Great hike! The trail is clearly visible, I went up the gully and down on the chain ladders. Taking breaks every now and then helps with the hike. It rained while we were at the waterfall and there was lightning (well that was scary hahaha)
4. The Vulture Trail

Together, Callum Piccione and Shaun Vorster have created a “Slack-Packing” trail that will enable the moderate-fit hiker the opportunity to take part in exploring this almost undiscovered wilderness, as well as visiting one of the only two Vulture Colonies in the Drakensberg! The Cape and Bearded Vultures have made the Little Drakensberg cliff faces, their home. It is a sight to behold.

Dragon Rock Reptile Centre is situated in the heart of the beautiful Drakensberg in Kwazulu Natal. We are a nature and reptile centre. We believe education is the most powerful weapon with which we can change the world around us. That is why we strive to educate people about the animals we have and animals in general. Combining the nature centre with our reptile centre we aim to send people home more aware of their environment.

Awesome experience with a truly knowledgeable guide. It's both entertaining and educational. We loved getting up close and personal with the animals and being a part of the experience in such a beautiful place. Highly recommended.

Monks Cowl is an exquisite place to visit. It offers many hiking trails for different experience and fitness levels. We paid R45 per adult and R20 per child. We did the Sterkspruit Falls route, stopping at the beautiful Sterkspruit Waterfall and Pools. Total circular distance was approximately 3.5 Km. Do yourself a favour and bring along your swimwear, a towel and a picnic basket and enjoy the cool water at the Pools.

We went up Spioenkop with Ron from Three Tree Hill lodge in Bergville. WOW! What an informative, captivating and completely mind blowing experience. Ron is an exceptional story teller and takes you back to when this battle took place. This tour should be on everybody’s bucket list.
