Lotheni - Southern Drakensberg

Lotheni is situated in the southern section of the Natal Drakensberg Park

Noted for its magnificent scenery and beautiful camp, Lotheni is situated in a remote section of the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park. Many delightful walking trails are available to suit all ages. For spectacular views of the Drakensberg , the Emadundwini Trail , a 11.8 km circular route crossing a   number of small streams and traveling up a steep incline is recommended.

Other trails such as the Eagle, Falls, Canyon, Jacobs Ladder and the historically interesting Gelib Tree are also very rewarding. Birdwatching with a bird list of 172 species , mountain biking and trout fishing are popular activities. 16kms of the Lotheni river is available for fly fishermen and stocked with brown trout.

Although chilly , swimming in the Lotheni river is safe unless it is in flood , and there is a very good swimming spot approximately 1km below the camp.

The comfortable hutted camp , electrically lit from 17:00 - 22:00 , consists of 12 self contained chalets , each with its own refrigerator , two-plate gas stove (with a small oven) bathroom and toilet. In addition to the chalets there are two fully self-contained 6 bed cottages. All units have fire places. In both types of accommodation bedding , cutlery and crockery are provided , but visitors must bring all their own food supplies and do their own cooking. The nearest source of provisions is at the Lotheni store , 14km from the camp. The curio shop at Lotheni supplies some basic groceries. One deep-freeze unit situated in the camp kitchen is available for use by camp visitors , as is a single large gas stove for large family cooking.
