Drakensburg is located between the Kwa Zulu Natal in South Africa and the mountain kingdom of Lesotho.
Drakensburg means dragon in Afrikaans language.
It has been declared as a UNESCO world heritage site because of the unique and diverse locales of the mountain ranges.
Also you find several Bushmen paintings throughout the range that are irreplaceable to mankind.
The flora and fauna of the valley are such that in the right season you find them vibrant colors of blue, red and yellow.
The Bushmen paintings found on the rocks here are as old as 2000 years and some of them are even older.
These are mainly found in the caves and shelters located in the mountain range.
There are deep and exotic caves and you would not have experienced any of these anywhere else in the world.
The Royal Natal National Park is another top attraction and has several hundreds of baboons.
You can find rock paintings in several nooks and crooks of the park and the entire area is covered by small rivulets and streams.
The Thukela Falls, which is also a part of the Park, eventually joins the Atlantic Ocean.
