Caves in the Drakensberg

The bushmen were the original inhabitants of this area and were displaced by African Tribes and the early European Settlers. Today, one of Southern Africa’s great cultural treasures – the rock art of the San Bushmen – can be found in more than 300 caves in the Drakensberg.

Accommodation in the Region is catered for every need. From luxury resorts and hotels with conference facilities to guesthouses, B&B establishments and camping grounds. Out in 'the wild', huts and listed caves await weary hikers.

A must for the active adventure lover, most of the resorts in the area have horse riding facilities which include short, half day, and overnight trips.

Thousands of trails are marked across the Berg - from a short stroll through indigenous fern forests to strenuous daylong trips through rivers and up mountains in the face of nature. Mountain biking in this region is fun and a challenge due to steep heights, rugged terrain and trails of varying levels.

The area is also particularly popular for trout fishing with a number of well-stocked dams in and around the Drakensberg.
