Elephant is a peak in the Cathedral Peak area, named for its rounded elephant-head profile and projecting tusk. It stands above the uMlambonja valley. An approach from the summit plateau is very different from climbing the steep mountain face below.

Explore the Cathedral Peak area: The Cathedral Peak and Didima valley has walking options ranging from short outings in the foothills to longer routes into the high mountains. Route choice makes a substantial difference to the experience and preparation required. Read our Cathedral Peak Nature Reserve (Didima) guide for more about the area and planning a visit.
