Unforgettable experience with incredible views - I highly recommend a trip to the Drakensberg. The views are incredible and it is a great way to escape Joburg, get outdoors, and get some fresh air. Patrick was such a great guide. He's pretty funny, always there to support you, can take great professional photos, will cook you dinner and breakfast, and will bring you tea and coffee to your bed. This was my first ever hiking experience in the Drakensberg. Soul adventures made organising this hike incredibly easy, and they provided guidance on everything I needed to prepare and pack for the hike. Renting the equipment I needed from them, at no extra cost, made the hike much more affordable. I will definitely be back to go on another hike with Soul Adventures!

Highly recommended - Patrick really went the extra mile with everything. From great food and coffee, taking us to different view points and making sure everyone enjoyed the hike. They also provide you with the necessary equipment should you need it. If you want to hike the Drakensberg I would definitely recommend Soul Adventures.

Just what the doctor ordered - This was a great introduction to overnight hiking and the views at the top of the mountain definitely made it worthwhile. The guide Patrick was very supportive and made this experience worthwhile. Would recommend this to anyone needing a break from the city bustle.

4 day epic trip to Mafadi in the Berg - Just want to give Darren and Emma and Nkuleleko my Porter the thumbs up for a pleasant and unforgettable new years trip to the highest mountain in SA.. As his article read, it's not a hike for sissies, Darren's recommendation that I book my own Porter due to me having to lug camera equipment up. That is a decision I won't regret, and will be my new norm when joining on my next trip to Meweni... Although the Baboons managed to steal our spaghetti bolonaize meal they had planned for the last night, Emma improvised and cooked the best 20min noodle meal I've ever had... I met so many new people on the trip, and although the rain persisted for a couple of days, the conversations between tents still flowed... Seeing Emma and Darren both carrying up 2 backpacks each up Judges pass made me really feel like I had no balls😔.. Two of their clients who clearly did not read the "it's a tough hike" memo were on their last straws when the husband and wife team came to the rescue...Well done guys and I'll definatly be back...
