Imposing peaks such as Giant’s Castle, Champagne Castle and Cathedral Peak form part of the remarkable Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa, a 200-kilometre long world heritage site complete with several incredible San Bushmen rock-art sites. On foot, visitors can brave the Berg’s more challenging trails with or without a guide or wander through indigenous fern forests at a leisurely pace. The scenery and birdlife are equally wonderful to witness on horseback and mountain bike or even while simply fishing.

A particularly breathtaking place to visit is the world-famous Amphitheatre in the Royal Natal National Park where ‘Zulu’ was filmed. On top of this rock wall that is approximately 500 metre high and five kilometre in length is the Mont-aux-Sources peak supporting the second highest waterfall in the world, Tugela Falls. From here the Tugela river makes its way to the Indian ocean.
