Intermediate Drakensberg Hike

Lower Injisuthi Cave Hike

  • Intermediate Drakensberg Hike

  • Overnight Hike

The lower Injisuthi Drakensberg cave hike is perfect for people just wanting an easy 4 hr hike to a lovely and big cave over a weekend. We start this overnight hike at the office at Injisuthi camp in the Central Drakensberg. Soon after setting out we cross the Injisuthi river. Try not to fall in. Ha ha.

Then it is a stroll up the beautiful valley to our turnoff to the cave.  If you carry on straight you end up at Centenery hut.

Anyway soon after turning right we arrive at Battle cave.

This has to be seen. There are some of the best paintings done by Bushmen ages ago including some battle scenes.

On this 2 day hike we only get to around 1900m above sea level but the views of the impressive cliffs way above us are certainly worth it.

A treat on this hike is a great swimming pool near the cave.

Iconic peaks like the ‘Trojan wall’ and ‘Old woman grinding corn’ all tower above us.

Drakensberg Hiking Package Options

We have differentiated between options for porters for your hike using ‘Gold’, ‘Silver’ and ‘Bronze’ as the options to choose from, so remember to select the correct option on your enquiry or hike form when you contact us.

We understand that the Gold, Silver and Bronze packages might seem a bit confusing, so we have done some calculations to assist you with which one will be most suitable for you, and to ensure that you have the most enjoyable hike possible!

It is a good idea as part of your hike preparation to do some extra walking anyway, so while doing a walk of approximately 5km, including some uphill and downhill parts, carry a pack with the pack weight listed in the description of the package you are interested in. If you are quite comfortable with that weight, then that is the right option for you.

If you find yourself battling, and don’t have time to do some more preparation, then consider moving to a different package.

All three options (Bronze, Silver & Gold) include full catering, and the supply of your tent.
