Ok guys, I ran it past the government last night and we are in!
I spoke to a few of my friends last night and the most popular suggestion was the Underberg/Himeville/Sani pass/Drak Gardens area. There's lots of camp sites, backpackers accomodation, hotel accomodation, etc in that area and from first-hand experience I can tell you that it is absolutely beautiful! There are some magnificient sights, rivers, the pass, etc which should make for wonderful photography. Check some of the links below for info.
I'm a bit worried about travelling distance from where we are to the Central and Northern 'Berg. From here to Underberg is about 650kms already so the Northern 'Berg would probably be around 850kms plus.
Let me know what you guys think.
