Overview

Drakensberg Dreaming is a poetic, first-person journey through South Africa's highest and most sacred mountain range - the Drakensberg, the ""Barrier of Spears."" Told with intimacy and reverence, it blends travel memoir, nature writing, and spiritual reflection into one breathtaking narrative of endurance and rediscovery. Alone on the trails that thread through royal peaks, Basotho plateaus, and forgotten valleys, the narrator walks not merely to reach a destination but to dissolve into the rhythm of the mountains themselves. Along the way come encounters with shepherds and storms, ancient rock art and whispering rivers, lessons from silence, and the haunting realization that we never truly ""conquer"" nature - we learn to belong to it. This book is more than a record of miles walked; it is a record of transformation. Each chapter captures the shifting moods of the Berg - from golden dawns on the escarpment to nights lit by starlight and solitude. The prose flows like the rivers it describes - lyrical, honest, meditative, and alive. For readers who love Wild, The Snow Leopard, or Into the Wild, this story offers something equally timeless but distinctly African - a love letter to the landscapes of the soul, where sky and stone, endurance and peace, meet at last. Drakensberg Dreaming is not just a travel story. It's an invitation - to walk slowly, breathe deeply, and remember what it means to be part of the earth again.
