Queen Rose Hiking Trail — Attraction in Umjindi Local Municipality

The Queen Rose 3-night hike is an absolute gem for any nature lover or hiking enthusiast, from start to finish. The terrain is beautifully varied — from lush indigenous forests and bubbling mountain streams to rolling hills and scenic views.

What really sets this experience apart, though, is the incredible hospitality. Thea and Willie are phenomenal hosts who go above and beyond. Everything was perfectly organized and thoughtfully prepared.

The mountains are calling, and this is definitely the...

The caretakers are a pleasant and helpful couple and for a small fee will have firewood waiting at the...
