Northern Drakensberg

The Northern Drakensberg streaches from Cathedral Peak to Royal Natal

The Northern Drakensberg covers an area stretching from Royal Natal National Park in the North through Mweni to Cathedral Peak in the south.The most famous of all the Northern Drakensberg features is the World famous Amphitheatre.

This massive Northern Drakensberg wall stretches 4 Kilometers between the Sentinel (3165M) and the Eastern Buttress (3047M). Other famous peaks in the area are: Mont-aux-Sources, the Inner Tower and the Devils Tooth, to name but a few. The Tugela Falls plummets 948m in five clear leaps, making it the highest waterfall series in the world.

The Northern Drakensberg is accessed via the historic towns of Bergville and Winterton and also Harrismith in the North. The Northern Drakensberg is about an hour and a halfs drive from the the Antbear guest house so is still well within reach for a day trip.
