Drakensberg & Midlands
Attractions
The Drakensberg's basalt escarpment rises to over 3,000m along the Lesotho border, with the Amphitheatre and Sani Pass among its best-known features. The Midlands below is gentler country of trout streams, farm stalls and studio routes.
Climate
Summer thunderstorms build most afternoons; winter brings snow on the high peaks and cold, clear air below.
Activities
Multi-day hiking with a guide, day walks to waterfalls and rock art sites, and easier driving and studio visits through the Midlands.
