Amphitheatre Backpackers

Amphitheatre Backpackers Bed & Breakfast accommodation in Bergville Kwazulu Natal

Description

Our funky lodge is located at the foot of the Amphitheatre between Royal Natal National Park and Cathedral Peak Reserve. Here the emphasis of your stay is on having fun and filling each day with as many experiences as possible. From the lawn the entire Northern Drakensberg range is spread out in a breathtaking panorama enticing you to explore it!

While you are here, visit Lesotho and Tugela Falls (the highest waterfall in Africa), rock climb, horse ride, mountain bike, fly-fish. Prices are ridiculously cheap and service is excellent. Use the lodge as a base for two or three FULL days. Each day you can experience a new highlight without wasting time on unnecessary travelling.

The lodge takes its name from a unique part of the Northern Drakensberg that is shaped like a natural amphitheatre. It is here that the world famous Tugela Falls has its source, rising at Mont Aux Sources and then plunging down the 1km basalt wall, into Royal Natal National Park. Lesotho and South Africa are separated by this monolith.

We cater for the small or large budget

There is a range of accommodation available at Amphitheatre Backpackers Lodge from simple camping spaces to private en-suite rooms with their own kitchenettes.

Attractions

Do fun stuff ... Come on!

There really is loads to do ... you could easily spend a week here and never be at a loose end. But if you just want to kick back and chill out, order a drink from the bar and lie down next to the pool with a good book. While you spend the day recharging your batteries/recovering from last night's party, everyone else will be:

• Hiking trails and overnight hiking in the 'berg, or on one of our day trips
• Catching fish and kite-surfing on Sterkfontein dam
• Abseiling and rock climbing
• Horse riding and mountain-biking
• Touring historical sites
• Game viewing in the local reserves
