Hotels in Maloti-Drakensberg Park, South Africa

Maloti-Drakensberg Park straddles the border between South Africa and Lesotho, famous for its jagged basalt peaks and ancient San rock art. Hiking is huge here-you can tackle the Amphitheatre trail in summer (November to March, 70-80°F or 21-27°C) for epic ridge views, or snowshoe near Cathedral Peak in winter (June to August, 30-50°F or -1 to 10°C) when snowfall turns the escarpment white. Don't miss the Bushman paintings at Giant's Castle, and if you're on a budget, come in spring (September) for cheaper lodge rates and blooming wildflowers.
