• Drakensberg is a 200km long mountain range with the tallest peak at 3,500m, the highest in Southern Africa.
• Between 35,000 and 40,000 bushman rock paintings can be found here.
• 48 species of mammals have been recorded here including black-backed-jackals, leopards, and caracals.
•  The foothills of the mountains lie below 2 000 meters and consist largely of undulating grassy slopes, valleys, and gorges, cut by numerous cold mountain streams and rivers.
• The pinnacles and crags provide a home for numerous raptors, including black eagles, Cape vultures and the rare Lammergeyer or bearded vultures.

• There is the Amphitheater massif with the second-highest waterfall in the world Tugela (948 m) in the Royal Natal National Park. The beauty of the landscapes is enhanced by the background – the top of the Mont-aux-Sources. There is also the Santa Lucia reserve on the territory of Royal Natal with the oldest lake of the same name and picturesque single peaks: Devil’s Tooth, Eastern Buttress and Sentinel. This park has a more than developed tourist infrastructure and it should be visited as one of the first parks by Tripety travelers.
• The national park Golden Gate Highlands National Park or “Golden Gate”, is located in the north of South Africa, on the border of the Drakensberg Mountains and Massif Uti. This place is suggested to visit at sunset: it is lovely to see when the rays of the setting sun touch the peaks with golden light.
• The reserve “Giant Castle” (part of Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg Park) attracts tourists with views and trails of the Giant Castle. This place will definitely appeal to climbers, Tripety travelers who enjoy ecotourism, mountain fishing and rock art.

The most attractive and interesting areas are located in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is located 4 hours from Johannesburg or 3 from Durban. You will have the opportunity to rent a car and visit all the places of interest. It will be impossible to travel without a 4×4 car along the alpine paths. The safest way to see natural beauty is by hiking.
