Hiking partners and/or climbing guide for 3 day/2 night trip?

Hi All - looking to pass through the Drakensberg mountains for a few days as part of a larger trip through South Africa. Because of the security concerns looking for a partner or two for a 3 day/2 night backpacking/camping trip starting on or around January 20th; flexibility as to what route/trail. I am experienced, self-supported and flexible on distance - anywhere from 15-30km per day. 28 y/o male if that is important at all.

I also had a few other questions:
1) Would this be the best place to find a hiking partner? Any other recommendations?
2) Do folks have recommendations for stretches that are more trafficked or do not historically have security concerns?
3) In the event I cannot find a hiking partner and don't want to go solo, would consider doing a guided climb, ideally over 2 days/1 night. I have experience sport climbing and some mountaineering but would need gear and someone more experienced. Do folks have recommendations for affordable, local guides or where to look?

It's funny - I've put Cleft Peak on the KZN Section meet sheet many times before, and usually only one or two people sign up. This time there's a waiting list of 3 people already. Group limit is due to the size of Rolands Cave.

@backpacker216 - you're welcome to drop me a message and I'll add you to the waiting list, if someone pulls out at the last minute it is possible that others on the waiting list might already have other plans by that point. But odds are there won't be space.

Thank you both! I didn't know that existed, very helpful. @ghaznavid do you think you could share the waitlist contact information amongst those on the waitlist? Perhaps we could organize something else amongst ourselves - sent you an email about it.
