Basic Trail Description
The The Maluti Cave trail lies adjacent to the town of Phutaditjaba (Witsieshoek) from where it stretches into the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains.
There are a few options open for hikers: from a basic 2-day trail to four days of hiking in the majestic Drakensberg.
One of the sections of the trail goes right up to the escarpment to view the Phororo waterfall on the Lesotho side of the border. Hikers that attempt this trail section must be accompanied by a guide and should be fit and prepared for sudden weather changes.
The landscape is dominated by the constant views towards the Great Escarpment and downwards over the Natal midlands. The trail also runs along deeply incised valleys with magnificent high kranzes and deep forests.
The main river is perennial but the water is not always potable due to extensive grazing by cattle of the local communities. The caves in the sandstone are one of the most notable features along the trail system. The San rock paintings are from the best you will ever see.
