ADVENTURE switches to the visually spectacular as you travel from
Fugitives Drift to what is arguably the most magnificent World Heritage
site on the planet. The route to the Drakensberg Mountains is one
of the few remaining areas where local Zulu people can still be
seen in traditional dress. Home to South Africa’s earliest
inhabitants, known as the Bushmen, the Drakensberg Mountains provide
a stunning gallery for rock paintings that date back over 2000 years.
From the massive basalt cliffs of its northern reaches to the soaring sandstone buttresses in the south, the Berg as it’s popularly known offers unsurpassed grandeur and the world’s second highest waterfall. |
Just
5km from your accommodation at the Champagne Castle Mountain Resort
you’ll witness over 170 species of birds of prey including
the Bearded Vulture and the Black Eagle. To see these birds in flight
is a sight not to be missed. The uniqueness of the Drakensberg experience
is heightened when the internationally acclaimed Drakensberg Boys
Choir gather to entertain you from their misty mountain campus. |
