Hotels in Drakensberg, South Africa

Drakensberg is a mountain range in eastern South Africa, with peaks reaching over 11,000 feet (3,400 meters) that turn snowy in winter (June-August, 50-60°F or 10-16°C) and lush green in summer (December-February, 70-80°F or 21-27°C). Famous for its jaw-dropping cliffs and ancient San rock art, you can hike the Amphitheatre's chain ladders in mild fall or spring, or go trout fishing in the clear rivers during summer. Come winter, grab a bargain on lodging in Underberg and try snowshoeing near Cathedral Peak, while summer brings cheap camping and fewer crowds for tackling the famous Giant's Cup Trail.
