The Drakensberg Mountains, run 180km along the western edge of Kwazulu Natal. Combining sheer natural beauty with a wealth of biological diversity, the Drakensberg have been preserved since the San people or bushmen roamed these slopes. Tens of thousands of bushman paintings depicting their daily life can be found on the rock faces, and in December 2000, the park received international recognition and was declared KwaZulu-Natal’s second World Heritage Site.

The fearless may choose to try sheer rock or ice- climbing or they may prefer the adrenaline rush provided by abseiling, white water rafting or taking a helicopter ride to view the Drakensberg mountains from above. Or you may prefer the gentler, more leisurely pace of walking the many hiking routes on both lower and upper slopes of the Drakensberg including gentle riverside ambles or short trails to magnificent waterfalls. Either way, watch out for the 290 species of birds, 48 species of mammals and the rare varieties of plantlife found in the park.
