Drakensberg Drakensberg Holiday & Hiking The Drakensberg Mountain Range is the longest mountain range in South Africa. It stretches over 1000 km and boasts several famous landmarks including the Amphitheatre, the Sentinel, and the second highest waterfall in the world, the Tugela Falls which are more than 900 meters high. The Drakensberg Mountain Range also boasts some of the oldest Bushmen cave and rock drawings and over 500 caves. The Zulu name for the range means “Spear Barrier” because of its height and the difficulty to get over the mountains to fight other ethnic groups such as the Sotho people. The majestic mountain range is notably also the highest mountain range in South Africa. The Dutch (Afrikaans) name refers to the resemblance to a dragon. For all the above reasons and more a visit to South Africa is not complete without a walk in the Drakensberg Mountain Range.
