Route description

Rockeries Pass is one of the more accessible escarpment routes in Mnweni, with a path through the pass. It is still a long mountain climb, and mist, erosion and weather can make navigation difficult.

Explore the Mnweni area: Mnweni’s valleys, caves and high passes form part of the Amangwane community area, outside the World Heritage Site. Read our Mnweni area guide for more about the landscape and local hiking access.
