DRAKENSBERG HIKE - Tugela falls/ Amphitheater/ Chain ladder hike

Overnight hike with strangers. This was my first overnight hike and I loved it! I hadn’t met anyone before the hike but what an amazing group of people!
The hike is about 13km long and can be done as a day hike. The first 2km is when you gain the most elevation and then it’s fairly flat afterwards. I’m not a gym bunny but I didn’t think it was hard, the only challenging part was the chain ladders and the gully.
The hike was organised by Dineo (@dineo_zonke) and guided by TBG Campout (@tbgcampout) - check them out on Instagram.

Beautiful Hike, I did it yesterday (31.03.2022) the plan was to go down the Gulley, but we could not find it, ended up going down the ladders, and I am so glad I did, after watching what you went through!

[@thandekafuze]

The gully was definitely nerve wrecking😅 hope you enjoyed the hike!

Where is the lodge that they parked the car and the starting point? Is that near Thele Camp or from the Sentinel Car Park?

[@MOSEEDAT89]

Hey awesome video. Who did you go with? And how do you book the hut?

[@thandekafuze]

Thanks Muhammed, it was a group trip organised by Dineo Zonke. We didn’t book the hut, I think it’s first come first serve but I could be wrong.

[@nchabelengspeaks5023]

when i saw the ladder at the beginning of the vid i was like what the f***

[@thandekafuze]

🤣🤣🤣 I won’t lie I had second thoughts about climbing it!

[@nchabelengspeaks5023]

@@thandekafuze uxolo kodwa I'm not that trusting. I rather use that other route you came back with. Though I doubt I would take hiking that's that extreme. Last time I went hiking in hartebeest and took it light, I took my drinks to the hike and continued drinking til taking the hike. I felt like I was dying there, vomited on the finish line. I've been on a hiking break since
