Drakensberg Mountains, South Africa - World Heritage Site, Beauty, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park

Waterfall, Mountaineering

Lately declared a World Heritage Site, the potent Drakensberg Mountains offer panoramic vistas of soaring peaks, waterfalls and unsoiled rock pools. Pristine sites include Cathedral Peak, Monks Cowl, Champagne Castle, Giant's Castle, Cathkin Peak and the geological trend of the Drakensberg Ampitheatre, all of which are dotted across this grandiose range. One of the most splendid sights is Tugela Falls where the river rushes for over a mile over sheer cliffs and cascades throughout a spectacular gorge to the valley floor. The Drakensberg Mountains offer everything from simple, guided walks and fly fishing to rock climbing and hot air balloon rides over veiled valleys.
