Drakensberg Mountains in pictures.
The uKhahlamba-Drakensberg forms South Africa's highest mountain range, a wall of basalt buttresses and grassy foothills running along the border with Lesotho. The dramatic Amphitheatre and Giant's Castle draw hikers, while thousands of San rock paintings shelter in its caves, earning the range dual UNESCO World Heritage status. Crisp air, alpine streams and big views define this highland wilderness.
