Antbear Eco Lodge is a great base from which to explore the Drakensberg with plenty of activities such as hiking, horse riding, hot air ballooning and rock art tours.
Antbear Eco Lodge is surrounded by many Drakensberg attractions including Giants Castle National Park, Midlands Meander arts and crafts, Bushman rock art, mountain bike and quad bike trails.
You can explore the nearby historical KZN battlefields on a day tour or spend an afternoon fly-fishing - there is something for everyone from the adventurous to those who prefer relaxing in a hammock and enjoying the scenery.
Dogs are welcome at Antbear Eco Lodge, so bring your fur baby and let them accompany you as you explore the Drakensberg on scenic hiking trails.
An amazing way to explore this beautiful area is on horseback. Guided horse trails start at the lodge and meander into the foothills of the Drakensberg.
Visitors are finding the stargazing hammock camp, where a local villager shares his grandmother's stories of the night skies, to be a highlight. This has led to the creation of a similar story-telling experience, where a local villager delivers fireside conversations about village life and comparable anecdotes.
If you are looking for something special to impress your partner or wow your family, take flight in a hot air balloon which is launched from the front lawn of Antbear Eco Lodge. There is no better way to see the Drakensberg and appreciate the scenic beauty which extends as far as the eye can see!
