Exploring the Northern Drakensberg
Sungubala Eco Camp nestles in the foothills of the Drakensberg, part of the Northern Drakensberg Nature Reserve, adjacent to the uKhahlamba World Heritage Site. The Northern berg is home to the iconic Amphitheatre mountain and the Thukela Falls, the highest waterfall, cascading 983m into the valley below. The uKhahlamba World Heritage Site is famous for the magnificent mountain scenery, rich landscapes, bushman paintings as well as rare and endemic species.
