Overview

The Maloti Drakensberg Park is a mixture of both cultural and natural significance. Culturally because of its rock paintings, and naturally because of its location in the Drakensberg mountains. The park is situated west of KZN on the Lesotho border. For more than 4 000 years, the mountains have been home to South Africa’s indigenous people, the Khoisan. This would explain the rock paintings, the largest collection in Africa. These rock paintings are educational and shed light on how the San people viewed the world they lived in.
