Transvaal Drakensberg

The Transvaal Drakensberg, with peaks rising to 2,286m/7,500ft, lies in northern South Africa, to the west of the Kruger National Park, separating the highveld from the fertile lowveld, which lies 1,000m/3300ft lower down, with hills ranging only between 150 and 600m (500 and 200ft). This part of the range consists of older rocks, mainly dolomites and quartzites.

The Transvaal Drakensberg, which has increasingly been opened up for tourism in recent years, has many natural beauties to attract visitors.
