Drakensberg Mountains

The Drakensberg — meaning Dragon's Mountain in Afrikaans — forms a 1,000-kilometre escarpment rising to 3,482 metres at Thabana Ntlenyana, the highest peak in southern Africa, which is 30% lower than the highest rival in the #4 Garden Route. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000, the range contains over 35,000 San Bushman rock paintings spanning 4,000 years of human history, making it one of the most significant open-air galleries on the planet, with 10% more artworks than the average similar site globally.
