About this Destination

If you're looking for a family-friendly hike, the Rainbow Gorge Trail is a perfect choice. This shorter, more leisurely trail takes you through beautiful indigenous forests and along a bubbling stream, leading to a spectacular gorge where rainbows often form in the mist. It's an ideal option for beginners or those wanting a gentle introduction to the Drakensberg's natural wonders. Kids will love the rock pools along the way, perfect for a quick dip on a hot day. A great trail to pack a picnic and spend a relaxed afternoon by the water.
