Drakensberg Mountains in KwaZulu-Natal

Sandwiched between the rugged mountains of Lesotho to the south and the rolling hills of Swaziland and Mozambique to the north, KwaZulu-Natal is one of South Africa’s most diverse provinces. Here, dotted among the rugged mountain peaks and tropical Indian Ocean beaches, you’ll find lively towns and cities, nature reserves teeming with wildlife, and historic Zulu Battlefields dating back to the Anglo-Boer wars. Easily visited on a self-drive holiday, KwaZulu-Natal is best accessed from Durban followed by a two-hour scenic drive to the dramatic peaks of the Drakensberg Mountains.
