Adventure activities and accommodation at affordable rates
Antbear Farm in the KwaZulu Natal Midlands provides easy access to Drakensberg Mountain hiking, hang gliding, golf, fly fishing & other activities.
Hiking & mountain climbing - the Drakensberg Mountains offer many opportunities for the enthusiastic nature lover. We can arrange guided tours in the mountains as well as to sites of Bushman paintings.
Paragliding and Hang Gliding - In addition to the spectacular sites in the Drakensberg range, many other, more easily accessible flying areas are to be found within an hour or two's drive of Antbear Farm.
Canoeing and River Rafting - Although seasonal, the summer rains transform the lazy local rivers into fast flowing highways of fun! Leisurely flat water canoeing as well as white water thrills are to be enjoyed on the Mooi River as well as the Bushman's River, whilst a rafting trip on the mighty Thukela River is not for the faint hearted.
Golf - Mooi River has its own 9-hole course and several other picturesque courses are within easy reach of Stonehaven if travelling by car. Tennis courts and bowling greens are also available.
Fishing (Fly Fishing and Dam Fishing) - This part of the Midlands, including the foothills of the Drakensberg, is a fly-fisherman's paradise. Well-stocked dams are plentiful and the beautiful fast flowing local streams provide fine catches of both Rainbow and Brown trout during the season (from September to April). Local dams are also stocked with black bass and other varieties of fresh water fish.
Bush Camps - Both large and small game reserves and nature conservation areas can be found in the Midlands and authentic "bush" experiences are to be had in both privately owned as well as state conservancies. Enjoy the truly unique South African experience of "braaing" your steak and boerewors under the stars.
Battlefields Tours - A SATOUR registered guide with specialist local knowledge can take you on a tour of the battlefields. A picnic lunch and refreshments are included.
Other activities on offer include 4x4 trips, pony trekking in the Drakensberg and trips into Lesotho.
