Ukhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: World Heritage Sites of South Africa

Philip Briggs

Let Southbound take you to a place of wonder and beauty that sprawls in breathtaking splendor between the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands and the ice-capped peaks of the Kingdom of Lesotho. The AmaZuluPeople of Heavenwho live in the long eastern shadow of the mountains call them uKhahlamba, the Barrier of spears. The first Boer settlers to trail their ox-wagons into the foothills dubbed them the Drakensberg, the Dragons mountain. Both names are in official use today, but South Africans, in unconscious recognition of its singularity, tend simply to refer to the uKhahlamba- Drakensberg as The BergThe Mountain.
