Soul Purpose

Discover "the why" behind the hike and our mission to Hike for Education There is something magnificent about the vastness of The Drakensberg that lets you look inside yourself. It does something to you as a person; a kind of cleansing that leaves you feeling fresher, invigorated, lighter and yet more grounded, ready to embrace the beauty of being part of our extensive group of enthusiastic hikers all challenging themselves to complete the Big5hike in aid the many under privileged rural children from the Amazizi community. An investment in their education and the future of South Africa.

Hike Details

Explore the terrain, flora and flora. Learn how to prepare, what to pack… Starting on The Cavern front lawn, the Big5Hike covers 18km and takes in five Drakensberg classics. We hike along an old rusted fence which marks the boundary between KZN and The Free State, look over record holding trout dams, enjoy a collection of natural pools, magnificent views of the Amphitheatre and if lucky, catch sightings of bushbuck, eland, or Chacma baboon. All this while enjoying any number of wild flowers, grasses and ferns.
