Drakensberg

Here comes another Bucket List hike! Unlike most hikes though, you can wander around this wild escarpment that covers over 7.2 million acres of land. Now that's freedom! Why it's on my Bucket List: I once worked with a talented photographer from South Africa who had spent a lot of time exploring the Drakensberg. He told me it was the ultimate place to hike because you could go off the path and roam (with a GPS device in tow). I'm not suggesting that's a good idea, but it's definitely an appealing factor for me. Either way, Drakensberg has a ridiculous amount of hiking trails of various distances and levels of difficulty for us hiking enthusiasts.
