Area Info

Set on the banks of the Klip River, and named after Sir Harry Smith's Spanish wife, uMnambithi (Ladysmith) was established in 1850 and served as a staging post for fortune hunters on their way to the gold fields in the then Transvaal, and the diamond diggings at Kimberley.

Today it serves as a gateway to the central and northern Drakensberg, the peaks of which form an elegant backdrop to the town, particularly in winter when a light blanket of snow graces its pinnacles.

The unique sights and sounds of our area provide an unforgettable experience. Enjoy the rich mosaic of offerings, from history to township, bird watching, and stunning wedding venues.
