The Drakensberg escarpment forms the highest mountain range in southern Africa, its basalt peaks reaching 3,482 metres at Thabana Ntlenyana on the Lesotho border. The uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park protects thousands of San rock art sites alongside alpine grasslands and endemic species. Dramatic cliff faces such as the Amphitheatre in the Royal Natal section offer some of the continent's most spectacular mountain photography.
