Overland Adventure Travel » South Africa » Drakensberg Region

			The magnificent Drakensberg mountain range towers over the rest of KwaZulu-Natal at the highest altitude south of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. This spectacular area includes the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park which has recently been declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. It features 200-million-year-old geological formations as well as a wealth of San rock art: over 35 000 individual paintings at 600 sites. The breathtaking beauty of the Amphitheatre, Giant's Castle and Cathedral Peak attract many visitors to the area each year and there are various nature reserves in the region, including Himeville Nature Reserve, the Sehlabethebe National Park, the Golden Gate Highlands and the Sterkfontein dam. Drakensberg means "dragon mountain" in Afrikaans and the local Zulu people call it uKhahlamba which means "barrier of spears." It is a magnificently scenic region, rich in natural beauty, animal, bird and plant life and spans 150 kilometres. Many people say it is their favourite place in South Africa because it often seems as if they have the place to themselves. Hikers come here to enjoy the fresh air and big sky and there are many wonderful resorts that encourage you to partake in outdoor sports and activites.
