Went hiking in the southern Drakensberg of South Africa. Amazing views of the mountain chain, gorges, rivers and small ponds with crystal clear water. Stayed at Sani Lodge Backpackers, just a few km from the famous Sani Pass, leading up to Lesotho. A perfect place to be, if you like nature - hiking opportunities for everyone, beginners, medium or advanced.
