Wartrail Skywalk

From 21 February 2010 to 26 February 2010.
5 DAY GUIDED SLACKPACKING HIKING TRAIL IN BEAUTIFUL EASTERN CAPE DRAKENSBERG

Hike through the spectacular Southern Drakensberg, reaching altitudes of 2700m. Home to the Lammergeier (Bearded Vulture), Black Eagle, alpine wildflowers and various small wildlife, this hike leaves you with breath-taking memories. Overnight at B&Bs along the way. Take with you only day packs while your backpacks are transported to your next destination. Experience true Eastern Cape hospitality and the natural splendour of the Southern Drakensberg.

A trip to remember - where hikers overnight at B&B accommodation for 5 days. More luxury for the older hiker who enjoys their comforts. Terrain is montane grassland and altitudes range from 1800m to 2700m above sea-level that afford the hiker spectacular views of the Southern Drakensberg & Maluti mountains of Lesotho. Hikes are tailored to the groups needs i.e. strong hikers will be able to walk up to the peaks of the Southern Drakensberg whereas more moderate hikes are available for those wanting a more sedate walk. Hikes are unmarked and therefore guides are needed. Each hiker will be supplied with a lunch-pack. Dinner will consist of a 3-course meal and breakfast is a farmstyle affair.
