The Drakensberg mountain region of South Africa is a World Heritage site. Traditionally known as uKhahlamba or "The Valley of the Spears," this 200 kilometer long mountain range has awe-inspiring beauty and amazing diversity of bird and species and plant varieties.

Visitors exploring the mountain will be amazed by the surrounding landscapes that are different from one point to the next. Deep mountain gorges, rolling grass lands, scenic valleys, and winding rivers makes the Drakensberg mountain region a unique and interesting place to visit.

The best way to enjoy your visit to the Drakensberg mountain region is, of course, to participate in outdoor activities.

If you prefer to have a quiet hike up in the mountains, you can take the established routes in the upper and lower slopes and admire the abundant plant and animal life along the way. You can also conquer the mountain by sheer rock climbing, abseiling, or for a truly unique experience, ice-climbing its challenging rock face and cliffs.

If you prefer to view the mountains from your seat up above the clouds, book a helicopter tour and be wowed by the uninterrupted scenery below. After you have conquered the sky and the land, join a white water rafting group and glide down a winding river. To get in touch with the region's natural history, see the rock paintings by bushmen who inhabited the mountains a long time ago.

This mountain region has an amazing range of accommodations and lodgings for visitors, from camping and backpacker style to mid-range accommodations. There are guesthouses, bed and breakfasts, self-catering units, time share units, hotels, motels, and lodges in the area with comfortable amenities and rooms overlooking the mountains.
