Drakensberg

Incl. Northern, Central and Southern Berg & environs

A hiker stands looking out at the Drakensberg Mountains, South AfricaThe mighty Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa are a World Heritage Site.  Their towering cliffs, rolling hills, waterfalls and hidden valleys form a 200km-long geological marvel, rich in fauna, flora and ancient folklore.  Their spectacular natural beauty is combined with a treasure-house of biological diversity. Thousands of its slopes and cave sites have been decorated by the early San people of southern Africa.

The Zulu people named them 'Ukhahlamba' (the Barrier of Spears) and the Dutch Voortrekkers 'The Dragon Mountain'.

They have a unique magnetism.  For their peace and quiet. Their ancient ruggedness.  The need to conquer their towering heights. Or abseil off their cliffs.  Or spotting some of the 290 species of birds, 48 species of mammals or rare plant species found in the park. Or simply because ... they're there.Map of KwaZulu-Natal regions, South Africa
