 For the Bushmen, it was this animal approaching that landed them in serious trouble. Zulu farmers chased the San further and further into the higher mountains, eventually pushing them out of the Drakensberg all together. -It is amazing to think that this is where the San Bushmen stood. This is their view.

-Imagine that was your house, Julia. Would you mind that at all?

-I wouldn't mind at all.

 

 

Just down from the cave is my final goal at the end of Day One. Luckily for me and countless¹ other walkers, it's a rather special overnight refuge. One man made this isolated² spot accessible. Albert Vandery was a young white farmer with a very ambitious goal. Lacking maps, money and even a road, he decided³ to build a hotel here. I'm arranged to meet someone who has been visiting this spot for more than 50 years.

-It's an extraordinary position, this hotel, and Albert is the man who had the vision to put it here.

-Well, he was looking for the ideal place, and he came hunting here. He came to hunt in this valley. And he thought this was the ideal spot.

-But logistically, this was a nightmare.

-Of course, it was. I don't know how he thought he would succeed.
