The Drakensberg borders Lesotho and runs down to the Eastern and Southern Cape. The peaks reach over 3000m in height. 'The Mountain of Dragons” is the highest peak in Southern Africa and is where the mighty Tugela River rises on the Mont-aux-Sources Plateau, cascading & forming the “Tugela Falls”. Okhahlamba is the Zulu word for “Barrier of Spears”, once home to ancient KhoiSan hunter-gatherers.

The Drakensberg (derived from the Afrikaans name Drakensberg meaning "Dragon Mountains") is the name given to the eastern portion of the Great Escarpment, which encloses the central Southern African plateau. The Great Escarpment reaches its greatest altitude in this region (2000 – 3000 m).

The Drakensberg escarpment stretches for over 1000 km from the Eastern Cape Province in the South, then successively forms, in order from south to north, the border between Lesotho and the eastern Cape and the border between Lesotho and KwaZulu-Natal Province. Thereafter it forms the border between KwaZulu-Natal and the Free State, and next as the border between KwaZulu-Natal and Mpumalanga Province. It winds north, through Mpumalanga, as far as Tzaneen in Limpopo Province, from where it veers west. At Potgietersrust it is known as the Strydpoort Mountains.

    Response from the owner
    Hi Helisha Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your feedback and your kind words; we're thrilled that you enjoyed your holiday and that it made a lasting impression. This is very rewarding for us. Please accept my sincere apologies for the disruption to your departure. We've since reviewed and amended the cleaning procedures by increasing the cleaning staff on check out. This ensures that guests are afforded the privacy and time they require for check out, the house is maintained to a high standard, and it creates additional work opportunities for the local community. We also invite guests to arrive early or check out as late as they wish where possible, to make the most of their stay. Once again, we really appreciate the valuable feedback as this ensures we continuously improve your experience. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in future. With very best wishes, Anita
