The Drakensberg Berg Adder – The berg adder (Bitis atropos) is probably the one species that catches people by surprise, mainly because it’s so easy to miss.
The Hidden Tools of the Drakensberg San – Every now and then, particularly in streams below waterfalls, you come across a stone that looks slightly different from the rest.
Patricia Vinnicombe’s contribution to the study of San Rock Art – Anyone working with rock art in the Drakensberg will, sooner or later, come across the work of Patricia Vinnicombe.
Drakensberg Dinosaurs –Around 200 million years ago, this area looked very different — more like a network of rivers and floodplains. The evidence for that still exists, particularly in the Elliot Formation, where fossils and trackways have been preserved.
Hike the Isandlwana Battlefield and Fugitive’s Trail – There are many ways to visit Isandlwana, but walking the battlefield changes the experience completely.
Cosmos in the Drakensberg – By late summer, the first patches of cosmos begin to appear along the roads into the Drakensberg.
