The Drakensberg Mountains is probably the most noticeable feature on the eastern coastline of South Africa on the map and in reality. Their expansiveness and beauty make the region attractive to visitors from within the country and abroad. Drakensberg is ideal for holiday activities for the adventurous at heart; hiking, canoeing, quad-biking, mountain climbing are just some of the ways in which you will keep yourself busy while living out of a luxurious chalet or room at one of the several resorts or lodges you can book through Optima Holidays. Select from the several Drakensberg resort specials on offer and you will find yourself heading to this great destination at a reasonable cost you can certainly afford.

As pleasing as they are to the eye, the mountains are not the only attractions in the Drakensberg region. Bushman Rock Art, ubiquitous throughout the region, is bestviewed at the Kamberg where a video presentation is shown to visitors who embark on a three-hour hike after learning about the area’s history. You will have the opportunity to see the well-preserved ancient art as well as a waterfall with the guide of KwaZulu Natal locals who know the region best. Hot-air balloon rides are a fantastic way to catch a full glimpse of the lands without having to trek. White-water rafting along the Tugela River is a popular and exciting activity for adrenalin junkies but if you’re only interested in enjoying a restful break, wellness spas are plentiful within this region. You may even find one at the resort you plan to stay at.

Golfing is another common feature at resorts such as Champagne Sports Golf Resort. Golf courses are located within close vicinity to resorts that specialise in offering guests a chance to tee off on the green on their vacation. Lakes, also a common feature in the area, are a site for fishing and relaxing afternoons. All this and the promise of restful nights in accommodation spaces provided by resorts such as Riverbend Chalet, MountainView and Suntide Qunu Lodge is available to you at the click of your mouse or dial of your phone.

Information on Drakensberg resort specials can be found at the Optima Holidays website where you are free to browse and learn more about the resorts and lodges at which you will be able to book accommodation for a memorable adventure in the Drakensberg.
