Activities, Sports & Leisure

Hiking

Hiking is one of the activities which guests in the Drakensberg of South Africa enjoy the most.  Daily morning walks are provided on the 1000ha. Montusi estate with tea, coffee and biscuits provided by the guide.

Guests can hike to the top of the Montusi Mountain or do the Bushman Hike to explore the ancient Bushman paintings or to view the breathtaking waterfalls.  Day hikes are also available for the more experienced hiker on request to the top of the Amphitheatre. Not for the unfit and not for those afraid of heights, but for the brave the experience is worth every second.

Swimming

The fenced swimming pool at the Montusi Mountain Lodge, South Africa, looks out at the scenic escarpment. The surrounding rocks have provided inspiration for this beautifully crafted outdoor swimming pool.

Horse Riding

The horse stables are a short walk away from the Lodge.  There are horses and trails available for all levels of riders, from first time riders and children to more experienced riders. 

The trails are chosen to suit the riders strength and can be anything from a slow stroll for a beginner to exhilarating climbs up the mountain and descents into the river.
