About Drakensberg for Solo Travelers
South Africa's Basotho Highlands soaring to 3,000m — solo hikers tackle world-class mountain trails past ancient San rock art, basalt cathedrals, and waterfalls that disappear into the cloud.
Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo
The Drakensberg is South Africa's most dramatic mountain range and very accessible for solo hikers — the trails in the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park are well-marked and the camps are social gathering points. The Cathedral Peak and Amphitheatre hikes are extraordinary solo. Always tell the camp reception your hiking plans and expected return time. The San rock paintings (some of the oldest in the world) are reachable on guided half-day walks.
