In Drakensberg Dreaming: From Cathedral Peak to Giant's Castle, the reader is invited on a walking pilgrimage through one of Africa's most spectacular mountain ranges. From the jagged spires of Cathedral Peak to the vast, wind-carved plateaus of Giant's Castle, the author journeys across the high escarpment of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg-an ancient land of stone, storm, and story.Told in an intimate first-person voice, this is more than a travelogue; it's a meditation on silence, solitude, and belonging. Each trail unfolds like a chapter in a personal transformation-through rainstorms and wildflowers, across thunderous ridges and misted valleys where the spirits of the San still linger. Along the way, the writer reflects on the fragile beauty of wilderness and the ways in which walking reconnects us to something elemental within ourselves.Drawing from vivid encounters with wildlife, local Zulu communities, and the timeless presence of the mountains themselves, Drakensberg Dreaming captures both the physical and spiritual essence of long-distance hiking. The narrative is lyrical yet grounded in practical detail-guiding readers through the rhythm of trail life, the moods of weather, and the deep respect required by this UNESCO World Heritage landscape.Perfect for hikers, nature lovers, armchair travelers, and anyone seeking meaning in wild places, this book is an invitation to slow down, to listen, and to rediscover the forgotten language of the earth.To walk the Drakensberg is to step into a dream made of stone and sky-and to awaken changed.
