Situated in the Maloti Drakensberg Transfrontier Conservation Area at 7500 feet (2286 meters), Witisiehoek Mountain Lodge is the highest accommodation option in South Africa’s Northern Drakensberg.

The mountain lodge boasts spectacular views of Sentinel Peak and Amphitheater on all sides and comfortable beds to welcome you home from a long day exploring the incredible and wild surrounding scenery.

This area of South Africa is an excellent hiking destination and the lodge gives you access to the trailhead to the famous one-day Mont-aux-Sources or Amphitheatre Hike.

The best time to visit is autumn (April and May) or spring (September and October). The days are warm at this time, but cooler than during the hotter summer months.
