The term "Langalibalele Pass" was originally a reference to a pass used by the Hlubi people led by Chief Langalibalele. The route was mainly used for cattle theft, but after Langalibalele's Rebelion ended in 1873, this pass fell into disuse. The name "Langalibalele Pass" was then appropriated to the "Bushman's River" Pass. The original Langalibalele Pass is still usable and is now known as "Hlubi" Pass.
This pass is definitely one of the easiest routes to the escarpment. It tops out between the Sanqebethu and Durnford ridges. With a good path along the entire route and no overly steep sections, its a good route for newbies.

I don't think you'll find a flat spot there, but carry on about a further 1km until you cross the Bushmans river at the base of the ridge, you will find a spot around therepetroengel wrote: Can anybody tell me if one can camp at G54-1800, or anywhere between Giants castle KZN wildlife office and the start of Langalibalele ridge?
