Drakensberg Park Essentials

The uKhahlamba / Drakensberg Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site characterized by massive basalt ramparts and soaring sandstone cliffs. This selection includes the five-kilometer-long Amphitheatre and Tugela Falls, which drops 948 meters. The park preserves a significant collection of San rock art, accessible through centers at Kamberg and Didima. Key peaks like Champagne Castle, South Africa's second-highest mountain, and Giant's Castle define the skyline, while specialized sites like the Vulture Hide offer close encounters with rare raptors in their natural high-altitude habitat.
