Area Info
People are divided when it comes to delineating the Northern Drakensberg. There are those who speak of its borders as the Natal Drakensberg National Park in the north, down to Cathedral Peak in the south, whilst others extend its upper western reaches to include the Golden Gate Highlands National Park, across the Free State border.
What they do agree on, is that the Northern Drakensberg includes the famous Amphitheatre, one of the most prominent features of the Dragon Mountains and certainly one of the most impressive in the world. This sheer cliff face, which forms part of the Royal Natal National Park, is probably the most photographed portion of the 'berg.
Certainly, the famous wall of rock that is the sheer face of the Amphitheatre is what graces the pages of most tourist guides. From here the Tugela Falls cascade some 950 metres in a series of waterfalls down its face.
