The Drakensberg mountain range is one of the finest hiking destinations in South Africa – and possibly Africa. Many trails are in age old indigenous forests dotted with streams, waterfalls and pools. Others are in the open on the grassy plains and display panoramic views of the mountains. For the serious hiker there are well worn paths into the mountains where most of the towering peaks await your arrival however no matter which direction you choose to follow you will not fail to be amazed at how beautiful the area is and understand why it was awarded world heritage status in two categories – cultural and natural.
