About This Experience
The Drakensberg (Dragon Mountains) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa's most dramatic mountain ranges. Rising to over 3,000 meters, these basalt peaks harbour ancient San Bushman rock art paintings, crystal-clear mountain streams, and some of the most spectacular scenery on the continent. Hike through lush valleys and discover why this is called the "Barrier of Spears".
