Didima camp sits nestled on a spur and consists of individual “bungalows” with fantastic views out to the mountains and a central small conference center and restaurant all beautiful bits of architecture, sitting so well in the landscape.
The following day we climbed a steep switchback trail to Tryme Hill. This 1800m top on a large rounded ridge sits 500 metres above the spectacular gorges on both sides that wind themselves up to the higher 3000m Drakensberg tops such as Cathedral Peak which were a bit beyond Holly and my current back problems being a 9 hour round trip.
Vultures circled above us as we stopped for an early lunch on top and the views were spectacular.
The following day we hired a guide for a gentle walk to Doreen Falls. You have to have a guide to visit the bushman cave paintings the Drakensberg are also so famous for. We climbed above the falls to the cave and he gave a great insight into the significance of the ancient rock art. We then retraced our steps for a very cold swim below the stunning waterfall before returning to Didima camp for a relaxing afternoon reading in the sunshine with fantastic mountain views in all directions.
