Drakensberg Tour Guide
The Drakensberg Tour Guide trys to showcase the very best of the Drakensberg
Mountains.
The Drakensberg Mountains are a huge attraction to tourists visiting South
Africa. The Drakensberg is a large region and offers a lot of variety. This
website tries to distill the very that the region offers and assist you making
your holiday choices.
The Drakensberg region offers a lot and its not easy to select the best
top 10 attractions form a selection of over 200 attractions, stunning hikes,
adventure activities, arts and crafts, cheese tastings, bushman rock art,
culteral experiences and resturants. This list tries to portray an even spread
of the best across the board
Top 10 attractions in the Drakensberg Mountians
- Game Pass Shelter -
This bushman rock art site is situated in Kamberg. There is a guided tour
to the rock art site daily and a well presented video thats available before
you walk up to view the rock art. The trail to Game Pass Shelter is particularly
scenic 3 hours return. The last half hour is moderatly steep but the reward
is nothing short of amasing.
- World View Hiking Trail -
There are lots of walks in the Drakensberg and its not easy choosing a
best trail. Infact I doubt there is a bad Dakensberg walk. We choose the
Worlds View Trail as its a moderate 4 hour return trail with spectacular
views especially the 360 degree view at the top of Worlds View. Giants
Castle also offers a lovely balcony to relax and have a beer and snack
at the resturant after the trail. Giants Castle is less busy than some
of the other Drakensberg locations which we think adds to making this the
best trail in the Drakensberg
- Drakensberg Boys Choir
concerts - Most wednesdays the Drakensberg Boys Choir performs
to the public. What makes them Drakensberg Boys Choir different? Well,
where the repertoire of just about every other boys' choir on
the planet is exclusively classical, the Drakensberg Boys' Choir has very
diverse musical interests.
Yes, the first half of the show is classical. But the second half. You
could get African harmonies that will make you weep. You'll
need tissues. And a jersey. Why? For the goosebumps of course.
You could get music from the movies or jazz or folk or gospel. Or even
Queen (Freddie Mercury would have loved it). Or just about anything.
It's simply sublime. Champagne air, dramatic mountain vistas echoing
with immaculate counter-tenor harmonies.
- Drakensberg horse trails Horse
riding in the Drakensberg provides an equine experience
of a lifetime! The Drakensberg provides unspoilt scenery as you climb
mountains, race over plains and cross streams on a hardy mountain horse
in the foothills of this World Heritage Site.
- Hot air ballooning over
the Drakensberg region. Voluminous brightly coloured silk fills with air
as the burner glows hot and you rise hundreds of feet into the air to float
above the glorious Drakensberg Mountain range. This really is gaining perspective.
Hot air balloon rides can be incorporated into any itenenary
- Sani Pass - Sani Pass is
one of the most spectacular mountain passes in South Africa, meandering
over the Drakensberg escarpment into Lesotho. It’s accessed via 4
x 4, mountain bike, quad bike or motorcycle.
- Midlands Meander -
Arts and Craft route that is the best in South Africa
- The Tugela Falls - The
second hightest waterfall in the World
- Game Viewing in Weenen Game
Reserve where rhino sightings are almost garenteed
- The Drakensberg offers exciting
adventure activities including white water rafting, microlight
flights, canopy tours and abseiling experiences.
