The Drakensberg Mountains



My family and I recently went on holiday, camping in the Central Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa. This year the whole area received exceptionally high rainfall. This limited my photo opportunities, so I had to take what I could get. This is a place of awesome beauty. With a rich history and exceptional fauna and flora. The mountains are a rock and mountain climbers dream. There are hundreds of water falls, mountains streams and rivers.

Cathkin Peak 3149m and Sterkhorn Mount Momory 2979m

Notice the thousands of Cliff-Swallows above the mountain.
