This Park is all about the scenic beauty of the Drakensberg mountains and nice hiking in nature.

The beauty of this park lies mainly in its scenery. The road to the park from Johannesburg is very scenic and the adjacent game reserve has antelope species and good bird life.

The mountain vistas are spectacular, the colour of the rock and rock formations are all unusual. The little town of Clarens is a haven at the start.

Fantastic scenery but generally not the place to seen game. Baboon, Zebra, Widebeest, Eland and others may be found.

Regarding highlands I prefer the central Drakensberg area with massive cliffs instead

Lovely surroundings especially if you stay in the log cabins in the mountain. I still want to go up there in the winter
