Wonderful hiking experience! The Mweni mountains were breathtaking and the organization was excellent. Patrick is a great guide and left no wish unfulfilled: great equipment, wonderful hiking route, delicious food and a positive vibe within the group. He also magically managed that after a full day and night of rain we could enjoy the most beautiful sunrise in the best weather the next morning. Everything went smoothly from booking till the end of the hike. We had a wonderful time disconnecting and enjoying the nature. Thank you!
Soul Adventures and specifically Patrick are simply amazing. They make hiking the Drakensberg so much easier, and accessible to anyone- even those without the camping gear. Their turnkey approach ( at no extra expense) offers everything from tents, backpacks, and sleeping bags right up to delicious warm food at the start and the end of each day. The most surprising being a choice of Hot chocolate, Tea, Fresh French press coffee AND fresh milk. Honestly!? Truley Glamping in the Drakensberg... Patrick somehow manages to carry all of the gear and bits and pieces without breaking a sweat. Soul Adventures and Patrick make the entire experience seamless and easy, it is bordering on cheating. Outside of their catering skills, they seem to have struck the perfect balance of light-heartedness, fun, and knowledge all carefully stitched together with the requisite skill and safety backed up by their mountain qualifications. Patrick must be the only guide who takes a rope up to the Chain Ladders for Justin. Ive now been on three hikes with Soul Adventures, each somehow more impressive than the last. The most recent through the Mnweni Valley. Mnweni is Picture perfect. Breathtakingly beautiful and highly recommended.
All my Drakensberg hikes have been with Soul Adventures and it’s been a great experience. Patrick’s jokes never get old 😂. I love a challenge so I booked 2 hikes back to back over 5 days and it’s one of the best things I’ve done for myself this year. If you have the time I’d recommend this, it’s the best way to disconnect and recharge! Did I mention Patricia the cook and barista? He’ll even carry your bag for you if you carry his!
Patrick is an enormously knowledgeable guide of the region and can customise the hike accordingly creating a unique experience
I went on a 3 days guided hike (Mnweni Drakensberg) in May 2021. As an avid hiker, I had high expectations regarding this tour and I need to say that these were exceeded for sure. It was particularly for the mountain guides that made this experience memorable. Pushing myself to my limits and having grown stronger through this hike. Special thanks to Rasta & Tazz for sharing this experience, Mountain Riders for Life.
