Nguni Moon Tepee Camp

There's plenty to keep you busy in this corner of the Southern Drakensberg mountains: a short hike from the site takes you to a super swimming spot, and there are horseback tours to be had 15 minutes’ drive away. You can’t fish in the river by the site so if you fancy casting a rod into the water you’ll need to head to Coleford Nature Reserve, a 40-minute drive away, where there are excellent stocks of rainbow trout and other native species to hunt for. Non-fishing folks are advised to take a trip here too, for sightings of the wildebeest, duiker and other animals that roam the area. Intrepid wanderers can add another passport stamp to their collection on a day trip to Lesotho with a local tour company, taking in some superb Sani Pass views and lunch at the highest pub in Africa en route. It’s possible to drive independently too if you have a four wheel drive but given the road’s notorious steep and bumpy nature it’s perhaps best left to the expert local drivers.
