hiking picThe Amphitheatre Hike is considered the most scenic hike in the Drakensberg.  It’s also a very interesting hike because it includes climbing the famous chain ladders of the Sentinel Peak.

Keen, but not happy to go alone?  What about joining SA Adventure Trails “Slackpacking”? It’s for hikers who do not have the equipment or who are not prepared to carry a heavy pack with all their own food and gear.  This aims at making the hike a more enjoyable experience for people who would like to walk the trail with a guide during the day and stay at comfortable lodges at night.

The Heritage Guided Hike has been planned to enable walkers of average ability to reach the heights of the Amphitheatre, and to be rewarded by awe inspiring, never-to-forgotten views from the top of the escarpment – a feat normally only undertaken by fit and experienced hikers who would normally have to camp overnight. By spending 3 days and 3 nights on the route, staying at conveniently located lodges on the way and using a qualified guide to make decisions on routes and weather conditions, it is possible for anyone who is reasonably fit and unafraid of heights to stand on “top of the world” and experience the same sense of accomplishment as the dedicated hiker.
