Grays Pass
so good in every way !
1 suggestion : tents that have a small veranda - extra weight yes but more rain protection.

Incredible Hikes with Into the Berg!
I had two amazing hikes with Geoff!

He is extremely knowledgeable about the Berg and can explain everything and anything about what goes on there. He knows all the different trails and passes and caves. His safety standards are excellent.

One thing that is noteworthy is his commitment to respecting the rules of the reserve. He strictly prohibits fires and littering even to the point of carrying 2-3 kgs of litter in his pack.

He takes incredible care of his guests and ensures their comfort throughout. He even carried someone's whole pack up one day of hiking in addition to his own pack. Truly impressive strength.

All in all a 10 out of 10 experience for me.

Another fantastic Into The Berg experience
I’ve just completed my second hike with Geoff, and I can confidently say I won’t be using any other guide for hiking in the Berg. Geoff’s attention to detail, from preparation to execution, is exceptional. His deep knowledge of the area, combined with his ability to cater to each individual's needs, including dietary preferences, makes the experience both enjoyable and seamless. Safety is always his top priority—he never takes unnecessary risks, but still manages to ensure each hike is challenging and rewarding. The sense of accomplishment and thrill after completing one of his hikes is unmatched.

The website is also very well organized, providing detailed info on the various routes, so you know exactly what to expect before heading out. Whether you're hiking solo or with a group, I highly recommend to join him for an unforgettable and well-guided experience IntoThe Berg!

Gray's Pass Hike
Dear Geoff,

Thank you for guiding us on a fabulous hike up Gray's Pass. The views were breathtaking and it was a great way to see the beauty of the Drakensberg. Not to mention the awesome bird sightings!

You were an outstanding guide. You cared for all of the hikers and made sure that no one was struggling with the hiking.

You were engaging with a lovely sense of humour but also gave the group time by ourselves.

I really enjoyed your broad knowledge on a wide range of topics - birds, flowers, history of the Drakensberg, cave paintings.

Your gear and food list was on point although maybe add a bladder to it so more people bring their own.

All in all it was an unforgettable experience and the best way to do my first multiple day tent carrying hike.

PS Thank you for getting me down the mountain in one piece despite my incredible ability to injure myself.

Amazing northern traverse experience
Superb four days in the berg with Geoff. I would highly recommend the northern traverse (from Sentinel to Rockeries) for anyone who is a hardy hiker and wants to get a true sense of the Drakensberg mountains.

Geoff is a superb guide. Very calm, helpful and knowledgeable.

If you’re doing the winter version of this (which I would recommend) just make sure to pack a good quality sleeping bag and good warm gear!

Into the Incredible Berg
You will be hard-pressed to find a better & more knowledgeable guide than Geoff and Into the Berg. With great patience and understanding, Geoff helped tailor-make a route for our private group specific to our needs & wants, which included a longer-than-usual 6 day/5 night hike with some specific detours to passes & overnight camp spots. Not only did he go out of his way to ensure that everything met our requirements, but his personality, calmness & humour meant that he was just one of the gang and even though he gave us all space to enjoy our hike together, we wouldn't have wanted to share meals or stories or this adventure without him. However, that does not negate his professionalism as a registered mountain guide with first-aid certificate where safety was always the priority. As incredible as the berg is, the experience was only enhanced with Geoff & Into the Berg and I can only hope this is the first adventure of many together. Jeepers!

Champagne Castle
Welcome to the great outdoors!!
A 10/10 hike through the Champagne valley executed with professionalism and perfection by our guide Geoff from Into The Berg.
At the end of the 4-day hike I wished we could start the trail again and do it on repeat!
This is the trip you have been looking for in the Drakensberg!

Mnweni 3 day hike
We did Mnweni circuit with Geoff of Drakenscapes. We had an awesome experience. Geoff is knowledgeable, calm and patient. We felt like old friends reunited. I’m looking forward to another berg adventure with Drakenscapes, they made it fun and worthwhile.
