The Drakensberg Mountains, meaning “Dragon Mountains” in Afrikaans, stretch across South Africa’s eastern escarpment and form the highest mountain range in the country. Known for their dramatic peaks, lush valleys, waterfalls, and ancient rock art, the Drakensberg is a paradise for hikers, nature lovers, and cultural explorers.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, where visitors can enjoy breathtaking scenery, diverse flora and fauna, and over 35,000 San rock paintings, offering a glimpse into Southern Africa’s ancient past.
