Drakensberg Mountain Range - South Africa
The Drakensberg mountain range is an unspoiled escarpment in KwaZulu Natal
South Africa. The Drakensberg
Mountains offers many leisure activities such as walks, climbs
and hot air ballooning.
The Drakensberg mountain range stretches the entire length of
KwaZulu-Natal’s western boundary. Hundreds of kilometers of
unspoiled escarpment await the visitor who seeks to get away from it
all.
Drakensberg Mountain Activities include:
Walks - From leisurely strolls to 3- to 5-day hikes for
the enthusiast. Sleep over in caves where the Bushmen lived hundreds
of years ago.
Rides - Pony trekking is popular from a number of venues,
both in the Drakensberg mountains proper as well as in the Little
'Berg.
Hot Air Ballooning (when available) - For the not so
energetic. Drift along the foothills of the mountains and drink in
our incredible scenery - an amazing opportunity for game and bird
enthusiasts.
Rock Art - The San (Bushman) people inhabited nearly all
of South Africa for thousands of years with the Drakensberg being
one of their last refuges. They left an amazing legacy of rock art
and engravings
Flyfishing - The sparkling ‘Berg streams are a paradise
for both the serious fisherman as well as the beginner. Wild Rainbow
and Brown trout are in season from September through to April, and
there are many lakes, which are open all year round.
