Intermediate Drakensberg Hikes

What are Intermediate Drakensberg Hikes?
Our Intermediate Drakensberg Hikes are typically 3 to 4-day hikes, and usually require a reasonable level of fitness.

The gradient on an Intermediate Drakensberg Hike is fairlyy constant and includes some steep ascents, usually between 2200m and 3200m.

We do sometimes walk for periods on plateaus or contours, but generally speaking, we are ascending or descending.

Usually, we do not follow well-delineated footpaths, but the trail is usually not too difficult. Walking is usually comfortable, but sometimes we need to go more significant distances over quite challenging patches on an Intermediate Drakensberg Hike.

Because the distances we cover on these hikes are medium, we set a reasonably fast pace, while still enjoying the amazing Drakensberg views; so a fair level of fitness is required.

Intermediate Drakensberg Hikes take you on a significant adventure; they stretch your boundaries a bit…but not so much that you won’t manage to enjoy yourself. You will definitely carry the achievement with you for the rest of your life!

We have a number of scheduled Intermediate Drakensberg Hikes on our calendar. Please check here for dates and let us know if you are interested in joining any of these hikes by using the contact form on the hike information.
