Didima Resort is situated near Cathedral Peak in the Drakensberg Mountains. It is about 45 km away from Winterton.

The chalets at Didima are based on the design of the temporary dwellings that were used by the San people thousands of years ago. Didima has a restaurant and bar. There is also a camp site nearby.

The surrounding area is great for hiking and there are a number of caves that may be booked. The Didima area has many examples of San Rock Art, some of which may be seen on the hikes. If you are lucky you may see mammals such as Caracal, Genets, Grey Rhebuck and others. The bird checklist for the area is around 170 species.

While you are there consider taking a drive up Mikes Pass. You will need a 4x4 vehicle or a 4x2 with difflock as well as a permit which can be obtained at the Didima office. The views are stunning both at the top and along the pass.

Didima Resort is managed by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlfe.

I think Didima is a great place to visit. Do you agree?
