Drakensberg Backpack Trail - 4 Days

AFRICAN BUSH EXPERIENCE COMPANY - www.africanbushexperience.com

The African Bush Experience Company invite you to join us on a 4-Day backpack trail exploring the magnificent 3 000 000 million years old Northern Drakensberg Mountain Range, also known as the Drakensberg Escarpment with it’s breathtaking Quartzite walls, cliffs, peaks and pinnacles that tower over the lowlands of the Limpopo Province.

 

The mountain range forms part of the Transvaal Supergroup with a general altitude at the base of 2000m while the higher regions rises & falls around 3000m. It stretches a phenomenal 1000 km from the Eastern Cape all the way through KwaZulu Natal and into the heart of the Limpopo Province.

 

This wilderness area of untouched beauty that we walk in forms part of a private game reserve that embraces more than 8000 hectares of malaria free, unspoiled African bushveld, located just outside the lovely town of Orighstad. The reserve is also home to free roaming Buffalo, Leopard, Sable Antelope, Tsessebe as well as an abundance of general wildlife.

TRAIL OVERVIEW:

After arrival trailists will be welcomed with a scrumptious meal and treated to a night of luxury at our on-site guest lodge. The next morning you will be on foot with your guide before sunrise after being dropped off at the designated starting point for a full day of exploration and discovery. Meals are provided and will be carried with us for Breakfast and Lunch. Later in the afternoon, as the sun sets, we set up camp and prepare ourselves for an exciting night sleeping under the stars and enjoying dinner around the campfire.

 

The following morning, after packing up and ensuring we leave nothing but our tracks behind, we continue venturing deeper into this “land of wonders” only to reach the pick-up point by mid afternoon from where we will be transported back to the lodge for a well deserved break, bath and rest.

 

Tonight we celebrate around a campfire sharing untold stories of memories never to be forgotten!!!

 

On the last morning trailists enjoy a full English breakfast before departing back home…

    

This is what awaits you on the Drakensberg Backpack Trail with the AFRICAN BUSH EXPERIENCE COMPANY!!!
