Sungubala is a new Bush Camp situated in the Northern Drakensberg. It is situated on 500ha of pristine wilderness directly below the peaks of Hlolela and Sungubala (7000ft), just north of Royal Natal National Park.
 |
Surrounding the farm is approximately 30 000 to 40 000ha of
conserved wilderness and mountain environment, to which we have
access.
Access to the camp is by foot or 4x4. We meet the folk at 15h00 on the day of arrival to ferry them, with a 4x4, to the camp, which is 2km into the mountains. Late arrivals may be arranged. Backpacking enthusiasts may choose to walk to the camp, the route is not strenuous and takes between 20 and 30 min. |
 |
Even though there are folk who prefer straight forward camping, there are people who enjoy a hard days hiking and then would like to be able to enjoy a hot shower, an ice cold drink and after dinner settle into a comfortable bed with the peace and quiet of a mountain wilderness around them. Experience the feeling of camping at Sungubala without the need to rough it. |
 |
There is a communal ablution facility with hot and cold water and adequate facilities for men and women. The Boma has a communal, fully equipped kitchen, a dining area and lounge area. Each unit is provided with its own crockery and cutlery in a private lock up cupboard. Our staff will prepare Braai fires for those wishing to BBQ and each evening a communal fire is lit where people can socialise or just enjoy a camp fire. |
 |
The nature of our area allows for visitors of varying fitness to walk/hike along a route that suits their ability. Folk can also lead themselves along the marked trails. Swimming is in the river at the Silent Woman!! |
