Durban - Sungubala Eco Camp lies in the heart of a pristine Northern Drakensberg wilderness, directly below Hlolela and Sungubala (2 000m in height), just north of the Royal Natal National Park.

Set on a secluded mountain farm overlooking the Sungubala valley, Sungubala Eco Camp is a self-catering option for nature lovers, those in search of an active getaway, or a quiet place to simply relax.

In keeping with the eco theme, all power is wind and solar generated. Gas is used for cooking and water heating.

Accommodation is provided in a range of affordable self-catering options, from two well-equipped two-bedroomed chalets sleeping five people, a rustic mountain bungalow sleeping six or three double rondawels sleeping two each. Hikes and trails leaving from the grounds range from easy to fairly difficult.

The Eco Camp is a great base from which to explore the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg World Heritage Site. Activities include a swimming pool, MTB trails, equipped kiddies play area and daily guided hikes, while nearby there is horse riding and an adventures centre.
