Activities & Restaurants

There is so much to do in the Underberg area of the mighty Drakensberg. Underberg is a treasure trove of adventures! From the Giant's Cup multi-day hike (where we discovered our mutual love for the wilderness and decided we could tolerate five days of cold water showers and cooking together on a camping stove) to scaling Sani Pass and exploring Lesotho, there's no shortage of excitement.
