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.
