Personally we like Monks Cowl and Giants Castle the most. The resons are simple. The senery is dratically spectaular and by far the most interesting the Drakensberg Mountains have to offer. You may ask what we have against the Amphitheatre at Royal Natal. Actually thats pretty spectacular too but it is one of the most popular places and we feel you come here to get away from all those Jobergers.

The Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg National Park is a delight for the bird watchers as you can see some of the rare and endangered species of birds in this reserve. One of them is the birded vulture. The other attraction is the presence of San art in this area. San art is the form of art of Bushman. Traces of these magnificent pieces of art forms are found in Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg National Park which is an integral part of Drakensberg tourist attractions. Take a look at the Giant’s Castle which is considered as one of the important tourist attractions in Drakensberg. This place is great for hiking and gets its name from the unique shape of the plateau which looked from a distance looks like the profile of a “sleeping giant”.

The holidayers can be part of the Karkloof Canopy tour which will take you inside the deep forests. This guided tour is the best way to teach your children about the ecosystem of Africa. You can walk down the platforms that are constructed with the help of the suspended steel cables through tree tops. A winding way through these platforms will take you the valley. As the platforms are erected at a height of 30 m above the floor of the forest you will get an aerial view of the forest for the first part of your journey. Drakensberg tourist attractions comprise Drakensberg Boys’ Choir reputed for their musical skills.

Take a look at the Spionkop Game Reserve or visit the Sani Pass which is situated at a height of 2847 m and is commonly known as the “Roof of Africa”. It is one of the entry points to Lesotho. The mighty Tugela River is one of the most important Drakensberg tourist attractions. Together with the Tugela Falls which is known as the “second highest waterfall” of the world it is a must-visit for any nature lover.
