The Drakenberg Mountains

on KwaZulu–Natal’s western border are one of South Africa’s most outstanding attractions. Rising 3282 m above sea level, the spectacular 200 km long mountain ranges were named by the Zulu as uKhahlamba or “Barrier of Spears”.

The Northern and Central Drakensberg area has some of the most beautiful scenery in Southern Africa. The area falls into four valleys, beginning with the Champagne Valley in the Central Berg, through the Cathedral Peak and Didima Valley, then the Royal Natal National Park and Amphitheatre Valley, and finally the Middledale Pass Valley in the Northern Berg. Each of the four valleys has its own kind of beauty and character; all have magnificent mountain views.

The thoroughly photogenic “Amphitheatre” is very impressive and is popular with visitors.
This is a rock wall with a height of 500m and stretching for 5 km. Many adventure activities are available here in the most scenic of surroundings, including- hiking, rock climbing, mountain biking, paragliding, white-water rafting, birding, and fly and trout fishing.

There are several parks and game reserves around the Drakensberg Mountains, the most prominent of which is the 2430 sq km uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park. It was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000 mainly for two reasons; first for its remarkable physical charm and biological diversity, and second to highlight the outstanding collection of San rock art. Scattered over 600 sites; there are more than 35,000 well-preserved artworks, with scenes depicting hunting, dancing, fighting and food gathering. The oldest paintings are estimated to date back 2400 years, with more recent ones less than 200 years old.

Scholars have in recent years studied San rock art closely and the consensus now is that this is not merely representation art but it has some spiritual content. At the Kamberg Rock Art Centre, you can learn more about the San people, and how to interpret the symbolic and spiritual content of their art.

In the Drakensberg region, there is a very wide range of accommodation including – basic bed & breakfasts, guesthouses, camps, hotels, and luxury resorts.

The rains come in summer between October and April, with the rest of the year being mostly dry.

Beware that winter nights can get extremely chilly and of sudden thunderstorms in summer
