Bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean, South Africa is a mosaic of hilly landscapes and stunning countryside. The mix of the different cultures of the Cape and Johannesburg makes these cities choice destinations for gourmets eager to taste Afrikaner cuisine. South Africa is the country of diversity. You will visit Robben Island, the island upon which Nelson Mandela was shut away for 18 years during Apartheid, and at the same time you will discover a country deeply marked by its history. You will stroll over the dunes of Arniston, will be amazed by the ostrich farms on the mountainous tracks of little Karoo and will end your excursion in the crystal clear waters of the rapids of the Tsitsikamma national park. The country also has a reputation for the quality of its wine. A walk in the bucolic region of Boland will enable you to sample the country's best wines directly at the producers. Finally, what would a trip to South Africa be without a safari to the heart of the most beautiful of wild animal reserves? You are bound to be charmed by the elephants, rhinos and tigers that populate the Kruger region.

The Drakensberg mountains are divided into three distinct parts, each with its own characteristics. The north section is the highest part of the mountain chain, with several summits surpassing 3000m in altitude. The mountains separate South Africa from the Kingdom of Lesotho. I loved this part as it contained, in my opinion, the most original mountain forms.
The central part allows you to go on walks around Cathedral Peak. The view over the green hills that surround it is sublime. I also liked stopping near the waterfalls and going through the tropical forests.
One of the most beautiful panoramas in the region is definitely the Amphitheatre. This mountain massif transported my to prehistoric times, by its relief and the colour of the rock. The walking paths are well maintained and there are plenty of signs.

The Drakensberg mountains form the highest mountain range in South Africa and stretch for more than 300km. It's a paradise for walking and observing the views which are untouched by the human footprint.

I spent three days visiting the Drakensberg on my last <a href="/south-africa/">trip to South Africa</a>. I quickly regretted not having arranged a longer stay in these mountains, which are inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage. Treks for hikers, trips on horseback for riders, climbs of summits of up to 3500 metres in height, cave art to explore for archaeology fans: there's simply so much to do at the Drakensberg. To give you enough time to make the most of this wonderful region, I advise you to spend a minimum of five days there. In particular, you really have to visit the Sani Pass, the Giant's Castle, the Champagne Castle and the Mont-aux-Sources
