This hike gives you a first-hand experience of the natural wilderness of the Drakensberg viewed through a glimpse into the lives of the now-vanished San people, the first people of southern Africa.

Your deeply-experienced naturalist guide, Aldo Berruti, will interpret the natural environment and provide insight into the lives and art of the San people.The hike is 12-13 km in length with an ascent of 400m and requires good hiking fitness. The rock paintings in the Drakensberg are hidden gems waiting to be discovered and enjoyed. Discovering these paintings with the help of a guide is a truly rewarding feeling. Rock art experts feel strongly that these paintings are of the world’s most sophisticated art pieces. However, you need not be a fan of art to appreciate these paintings.
