Welcome to the first episode of five where we explore some of the splendours that South Africa has to offer. • In this episode we visit the Drakensberg, which literally translates to Dragon Mountains. This incredibly beautiful ridge of mountains runs parallel to the South African east coast and reaches a height of almost 3500m above sea level. • The escarpment itself is an awesome cliff face up to 1000m high, jutting out from the rolling foot hills of Kwa Zulu Natal. • Our first camp is Mahai, Royal Natal National Park. Famous for it spectacular hikes, incredible scenery and also home to the worlds second highest waterfall - Tugela Falls which plunges 950m from its source in Lesotho. We hike to tugela gorge, the base of the waterfall and enjoy a chilly dip in the clear blue waters. • Royal Natal National Park is run by Ezemvelo KZN formally known as the Natal Parks Board, there are two accommodation options in the park, namely Mahai which is a very popular campsite alongside the Mahai river and Thendele, numerous self catering chalets set on top a ridge overlooking the Amphitheatre. • Bookings can be made directly with EKZN on their website: • http://www.kznwildlife.com/accomodati... • I hope you enjoy this video and please subscribe to the channel and hit the bell for notifications. • We will be releasing an episode every week of our trip which also includes Kosi Bay, in the sub tropical north of Kwa-Zulu Natal and a week in Kruger National Park. • Cheers • Liam
