Amphitheatre Backpackers Lodge sits at the base of the iconic Amphitheatre formation in the Northern Drakensberg mountains, about 21 km north of Bergville on the R74 in KwaZulu-Natal.

The property occupies roughly 300 hectares with direct views of the Amphitheatre's rock face, and on clear days after rain, the Tugela Falls — the world's second-highest waterfall — can be seen plunging down the ancient cliff.

The lodge offers a range of accommodation from camping and dormitories to private rooms, set among thatched buildings with a bar, restaurant, swimming pool, and sauna.

Outdoor activities are a focus, with hiking, rock climbing, cycling, and guided tours to Tugela Falls and remote Lesotho all available in the surrounding area.
