There’s no doubt that hiking is the biggest pastime enjoyed by visitors to the Royal Natal National Park. Walking through the mountains allows access to so many beautiful spots. We particularly enjoy the easy trails that lead from the Mahai campsite and visitor centre, like Otto’s walk and the trails to the Cascades and Fairy Glen.

This was the last installment on our December visit to Royal Natal National Park in the uKhahlamba Drakensberg. From here we travelled to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park in Zululand, and from tomorrow we’ll be sharing some of what we experienced there.

Simply and stunningly beautiful.
Thank you so much, Mary, and nice to hear from you again!
When we started wintering in Arizona, we discovered hiking! What a way to enjoy nature. It appears that on your hikes, you see much more wildlife than I do on ours.
We have some lovely trails in many of our wild places, John, and along them the local wildlife become quite used to the human traffic, which is always a nice boon!
That looks like a delightful place to spend some time!
It really is, Michael!
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing this again.
It’s our pleasure, Ineke! Thanks for joining in!
Such a nice place! and no worries of being eaten!! 🙂
That’s very true, Teresa! At our next destination, Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park, that would be a real possibility if you go walking unguarded!
What a beautiful spot, just looking at the pictures makes me feel calm and relaxed. Thanks for sharing with us
Thanks for the very kind contribution, Sheila!
Stunningly beautiful… indeed a sight for sore eyes!!
Baie dankie, AJ!
So beautiful! I really enjoyed going on that walk with you. 🙂
And we’re very glad that you did, Pat, thank you!
