Picturesque Drakensberg: English, by Sue Derwent
In Picturesque Drakensberg, Sue Derwent shows some of the grandest views of South Africa.
World heritage wonder: The uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park was declared a World Heritage Site in 2000. This mountainous sanctuary of towering peaks and deep gorges protects a variety of endemic and threatened plant, bird and animal species and preserves a unique collection of rock art created by the San. The 2428 square kilometre park extends 300 km along the border between Lesotho and South Africa.

Ancient rock formations: Over the millennia, the elements have produced dramatic landscapes such as the Policeman's Helmet and sections of the Thukela Gorge Walk in the Royal Natal Park.
Northern Drakensberg: From Bergville, the road winds through the northern foothills of the uKhahlamba-Drakens-berg mountains. The area is home to a diversity of colourful characters, including artist Si-busiso Mbhele, known locally as the 'Aeroplane Man'.
Imposing escarpment: The Escarpment is at its most dramatic when first light falls on the dark basalt covering the layers of sandstone rock at the base of the formidable uKhahlamba-Drakensberg mountain range.
