The Lodge is certified by Fair Trade Tourism. Spend free time enjoying the property before your evening safety briefing regarding the next day's hikes.

Option 1: Hike the Sentinel Peak trail to the top of Tugela Falls. This 12km trail will take most of the day and a packed lunch will be had at the top overlooking the impressive Drakensberg. The hike is also commonly known as the 'chain ladders hike' because of a series of chain ladders that hikers must climb up along an almost vertical rock face. Certainly not for the faint of heart, but well worth the incredible views you are rewarded with at the top. In regards to the chain ladders, there are two sections of about 50 rungs a piece and a choice between one with large "grabbing handles". Please feel confident before attempting this section as there's no shame in choosing the alternate route.

Travel back to the lodge for an included lunch and then walk from the lodge on a nearby trail through peaceful scenery and quiet forests.
