Lotheni

Noted for its magnificent scenery and beautiful camp, Lotheni is situated in a remote section of the Maloti-Drakensberg Park. Many delightful walking trails are available to suit all ages. For spectacular views of the Drakensberg, the Emadundwini Trail, an 11.8 km circular route crossing a number of small streams and traveling up a steep incline is recommended. Other trails such as the Eagle, Falls, Canyon, Jacobs Ladder and the historically interesting Gelib Tree are also very rewarding.
