Welcome to Drakensberg Hiker - hiking, trekking & backpacking in the KwaZulu-Natal Drakensberg
Drakensberg Hiker will arrange a partially or fully portered hike in the Northern Drakensberg of KwaZulu-Natal, and best of all we will do your catering and cook your meals for you! No more getting to the end of a hard day's hiking and having to cook a meal in your tiny tent. Now you can relax in our large "mess tent" with your fellow hikers and enjoy a meal cooked for you prior to turning in for a good night's sleep!
