Drakensberg Mountains Tourist Map
The Drakensberg Mountains is one of the hidden tourist gems that
South Africa has to offer. The scenery is spectacular, dramatic
and inspiring. On a good day views of over 160km are possible
with the crisp peaks easily identifiable. There is lots to do
from the most beautiful hiking trails in the world to adventure,
horse trails, historic tours, mountain biking, the drakensberg
boys choir, white water rafting, bird watching, arts and crafts,
busdhman rock art, resturants and much much more.
Till now there have been no good tourist road maps of the
Drakensberg region but now the guys from www.drakensberg-tou
rist-map.com have come out with a free downloadable tourist
map of this region. What makes me excited is that its to scale,
differentiates between surfaced and unsurfaced roads, and is
clear easy to use for navigating. Distances are shown, and all
the sights and attractions of the area. All activities are
listed with phone numbers, and the best selection trails in the
national parks are listed. Locations for viewing bushman rock
art to boot.
1. Hiking Hiking trails in the 'berg offer something for
everyone. Stroll through the foothills, hike the upper reaches
or take on a challenging peak. Hiking maps are available at the
start of the trails from KZN Wildlife. You can also overnight in
a cave, tent or hut.
2. Bushman Rock Art The best Bushman rock art can be viewed at
Kamberg. There is an excellent video presentation before the 3
hour guided tour. The rock art at Giants Castle at the main
caves is also good and is an easy walk. The Didima Rock Art
Centre at Cathedral Peak offers a great presentation although
the paintings are reproductions. All rock art must be viewed
with a guide
3. Horse riding Horse riding through the foothills of the
Drakensberg is an experience not to be missed. Sengani offers
safe trails for beginners and experienced alike. Spionkop game
reserve even offers game viewing on horse back
4. Battlefields Steeped in history, the Battlefields Region
offers enthralling tales of British, Boer, Zulu and
Voortrekker
history. The Anglo Boer War reached as far south as Mooi River
and the many sites are best visited with a specialist guide
5. Arts and Crafts The region offers a fun and fascinating
collection of art galleries, craft shops, cheese tastings,
leather work, antiques, clothing, gifts and pottery. All the
activities on the map have been chosen for their unique
representation of South African creativity. Take a slow journey
to view outstanding galleries such as Millgate, Indigo Fields
Gallery, and Zombeza. Community development projects like Eyethu
Ceramics and Thandanani Craft uplift local communities allowing
tourism a wider benefit.
6. Sani Pass Tour A trip up Sani Pass into Lesotho and a visit
to the highest pub in Africa is a must. It's a dramatic 4x4
