Mafadi Trek - Trekking Africa

Mafadi Hike – Drakensberg

Trails

Join Trekking Africa on an extraordinary 4-day, 3-night trek to the highest peak in South Africa. This adventure is one of the most demanding hikes we offer, featuring a total elevation gain of 2,000 meters over the first two days, averaging 1,000 meters per day.

The journey covers 64 kilometers over the 4-day period and typically follows a circular route. However, your safety is our top priority, and we remain adaptable with the route in case of heavy rain, which may necessitate changes. This is a rare occurrence, and we usually follow the circular route that takes us up Corner Pass and down Leslie’s Pass.
