Hotels in Drakensberg, South Africa

Drakensberg is a majestic mountain range in South Africa, famous for its towering basalt cliffs and ancient San rock art. Summers are warm with afternoon thunderstorms, perfect for hiking trails like the Amphitheatre or Cathedral Peak, while winters bring snow to the high peaks, offering skiing and crisp-weather walks to view the frozen Tugela Falls. If you visit from November to March, expect lush green valleys and waterfalls, but come June through August for clear skies, fewer crowds, and a chance to see the snow-dusted escarpment.
