About Katberg

Katberg is a mountain retreat in the Eastern Cape, reached mainly via the R67 through Fort Beaufort before the road climbs into the Katberg Pass, one of the more scenic drives in the province. Locals nip through to Seymour or Mhlangeni for supplies, while visitors often combine it with Hogsback or a longer Grahamstown run. It's cool and misty most of the year, home to indigenous forest, trout streams, and the historic Katberg Hotel dating back to the 1890s. Charge your EV in Fort Beaufort before the climb, there's not much up top.
