Glamping to the breathtaking backdrop of the Central Drakensberg

AfriCamps Champagne Valley offers guests of all ages an exciting close-to-nature experience on the foothills of the Drakensberg, which means loads of adventure and exquisite natural beauty are in store. The sheer scale of the Drakensberg can only be experienced first-hand – whether you seek the reward of the views from the top, or are perfectly happy unwinding to the views of the mountain in the distance.

The property is a hiker’s paradise with the popular Monk’s Cowl entrance to the Maloti-Drakensberg National Park only 7 km from the farm. Guests can also enjoy overnight hikes like Champagne Castle, Cathedral Peak, and Injisuthi, or book a customised hike with a local licensed guide.

Where exactly is Champagne Valley? Champagne Valley is located in the Central Drakensberg, KwaZulu-Natal. The Drakensberg Mountain Range stretches an impressive 300 km between Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal. The name translates to ‘Dragon Mountain’ but is simply referred to as the ‘Berg’ by locals.

The ecologically and culturally diverse Drakensberg is home to the highest mountain peaks in the country and has been declared a world heritage site. The flat-topped Cathkin Peak (3,149 m) and Champagne Castle (3,248 m) are two of these peaks, and the valley below it is referred to as Champagne Valley.

The area is a world-famous destination for hiking, mountain biking, and rock climbing.
