The Magical Drakensberg Mountains.

As the crow flies from Southern to Northern Berg

Soothe your spirit and allow your soul to soar.

This is gob-smacking, lip-licking, eye-boggling, bewitching territory. Book for three days and you may well stay six.
What the heck, fall under the spell of the “Dragon Mountains” and become a sorcerer’s slave. Learn to weave bubbling breezes and star-studded skies, to knit cool streams and foamy waterfalls and crochet cascading shadows in colour palettes that’ll thrill even the colour blind.

The Berg is a bit like a magician’s cloak. You put it on and suddenly you see the world differently. Bits of sorcery spills over into the most unexpected corners and before you know it, you’re the world’s most amazing wizard and whizzing through the universe on the magic carpet of your mind.
You notice the detail in the weave of rock, smell the fat clouds, taste the fresh mountain air and start breathing in your soul.
And the longer you stay, the less you want to leave.

Don’t mistake the foothills of the Berg for the Berg proper.

An amazing 120 of 200 plant orders known on earth are found in the Berg.
