Edith is always keen to set of for the Drakensberg and so we booked the Lotheni Camp. We have visited this camp several times over the years and have very pleasant memoies of those times. It is also quite a remote camp and offers some excellent hiking with great views of the area, and if you are luck, the indeigenous fauna.

On our second day we walked the 11.8 km Emandundwini Trail which takes you on a circular route that traverses the Little Berg and thus affords good views of The Drakensberg escarpment. It also take you within 4 kms of an offshoot trail that takes you to the summit of Sheeba's Breasts. On the day that proved to be a Bridge too Far. I had a sports tracker ruuning on my phone and by the time battery failed, we had completed two thirds of the trail and had climbed 430 m. I guess the total could have been 600 m, by the time we had completed the trail.

It was a special day and I have my good wife to thank for dragging me out there. Walking in the DRakensberg is special!
