Drakensberg Ostelli

"Excellent hostel. the place to be! - Actually this was one of the best hostels in our trip. We stayed in a comfortable hut. The only inconvenient was that the showers were partly outdoors so you have to wait till the morning if you don't want to freeze. But apart from that everything was perfect.

I had just spent four days camping at the top of a mountain and was more interested in the fireplace, which worked really well. The owner is also the author of "A Backpackers Guide to Lesotho" and can advise you of travel there. Definitely the place to stay if you are heading up Sani Pass to Lesotho or if you are coming down the pass to...  more »
