Each year since 2008 now I've tried to make sure I undertake at least one, if not two, multi-day hiking trips to the Drakensberg mountain range in South Africa. Winter is normally best for weather conditions and it's great to experience the colder climate that we don't normally feel in Durban. Our trip up to Giants Castle peak in May 2012 sure lived up to expectations. The … [Read more...]
