Loteni is wild and lonely a ravine hideaway in the shadow
of the high peaks. Its name means 'in the ashes', from the burnt appearance
of the shale found in this river valley in the magnificent southern
Drakensberg.
The
Loteni reserve has a hutted camp of 12 self-contained bungalows, each
with its own refrigerator, gas stove, bathroom and toilet, as well as
bedding , crockery and cutlery and two self-contained cottages. Visitors
bring their own food and do their own cooking [the nearest shop is at
Loteni, some 14 km away). The campground, lying 2 km from the hutted camp,
has 12 sites with an ablution block with hot and cold water. Simes Rustic
Cottage, equipped with gas, lies on the shore of a small, trout-stocked
dam, which is reserved for use by the occupants of the cottage. Visitors
must bring their own food and linen.
