THE ADVENTURE
20+ years of advancing ecological stewardship and creating unforgettable experiences.
Living a Life of Adventure
Located in the relatively unexplored Southern Drakensberg, at the junction of the Eastern Cape, Kwa Zulu Natal and
Southern Lesotho, the Mehloding Trail takes you on a path of rich and diverse natural and cultural heritage.
The quaint and welcoming town of Matatiele, 70 km from Kokstad forms the perfect gateway to the trail, half way between
Underberg and Rhodes.
The route traverses spectacular mountainous foothills and rural villages, taking in visits to ancient rock-art,
sparkling streams, indigenous trees, medicinal plants, craft projects and top of the world views.
World Heritage Site - San Art
Explore the San rock art found in the mountains, which is a vital part of South Africa's cultural heritage, offering a glimpse into the lives and beliefs of the indigenous San people, who inhabited the region for thousands of years.
Protea Biome
Venturing into nature's embrace, the Protea Forest captivates with its towering beauty. Rustling leaves and snapping twigs underfoot echo the serenity of the wilderness. Fragrant Protea flowers perfume the air, whisking you into a realm of tranquillity. The Matatiele and Drakensberg Mountains blend grasslands, forests, and rocky outcrops into a stunning vista. Amidst this panorama, diverse Protea species, like the King Protea and Sugarbush, showcase nature's bounty. Walking among these wonders fosters a profound connection to South Africa's natural and cultural heritage, a bond that resonates deeply within.
