Southern Drakensberg
The Southern Drakensberg streaches from Bushmans Nek to Kamberg and includes
Underberg and Himeville. Just two and half hours drive from Durban, visitors
can experience ambient Southern Drakensberg hospitality in villages such as
Underberg, Himeville and Bulwer, which provide you with tranquil charm alternating
with festive merriment amongst a host of quaint pubs, Cheese farms, home-produce
stalls, art and craft outlets abound in magnificent locations, attended to
by friendly residents, eager to meet and treat callers.
Although the Southern Drakensberg is not the very best known region of the
Drakensberg, nestling the in the lower hills of the Southern Drakensberg
are quite a few scenic nature reserves, including Coleford, Loteni and Kamberg,
each offering its own natural character, unique grasslands and hiking trails.
Closer to the southern Drakensberg mountains are destination hotels offering
all outdoor leisure amenities including golf, home and hiking trails, trout
and bass fishing, boating, tennis, mini-golf and mountain biking.
Lots of pristine sanctuaries entice the hiker, nature-lover and the fly-fisherman,
with plenty of excitement and healthy outdoor activity on offer to children
of all ages and interests. The only eastern road access to the Kingdom of
Lesotho along the entire length of the mountain range is via the remarkable
Sani Pass, which boasts the highest pub in Africa at its crest at about 2,800m.
A 4x4 vehicle is recommended in order to cross the Sani Pass, especially
in bad temperatures. Be sure to check the opening times of the border post
among South Africa and Lesotho as it is not open 24 hours a day.
Flower and music festivals attract occasional friendly crowds to the Southern
Drakensberg, bringing laughter and song to the usual stillness allowing all
to enjoy the surrounds. Adventure enthusiasts of many degree are well accommodated
with abseiling, paragliding, helicopter trips and river tubing are all on
provide.
While the Southern Drakensberg is
particularly well liked to fly fisherman who come here for the crystal clear
lakes and rivers, the Southern Drakensberg has plenty more to feature the
visitor.
