Drakensberg Trips & Tours

Hiking or walking, driving or climbing, enjoy the country’s most dramatic, soaring scenery.

A 200-kilometre sweep of jagged edges, sweeping table tops and tumbling buttresses along the border between South Africa and Lesotho, the Drakensberg is quite possibly the mountain range to end all mountain ranges. Known locally as "The Berg", the peaks offer every excitement, from serious hiking and hairpin drives (Sani Pass, we’re looking at you) to gentle walks through forested glades, and even a spot of culture – there are thought to be 25,000-plus Bushmen paintings hidden in these rocks. In the foothills are the rolling KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and the Royal Natal National Park, an addictively chilled-out sort of place where you can climb, ride horseback, fish and watch wildlife to your heart’s content.
