Discover the Mehloding Trail

Located in the relatively unexplored southern Drakensberg, at the junction of the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and southern Lesotho, the Mehloding Trail is a stunning guided trail into this lesser known part of the Ukhahlamba / Drakensberg National Park.

Embark upon a path of rich and diverse natural and cultural heritage, as your guided trail traverses spectacular mountainous foothills, passing through rural villages with visits to ancient rock-art, sparkling streams and indigenous forests. Share sightings of rare birds, protea and tree ferns, learn about medicinal plant use, or visit one of the local craft projects along the way. Pass through rural villages and be greeted by friendly local communities as you get an insight into traditional custom and culture. At the end of each day be welcomed by your hostess at comfortable chalets where you can enjoy a hot shower, delicious African cuisine and an inviting bed!

Location
