The Drakensberg Mountains are a dramatic, towering mountain range forming the eastern portion of Southern Africa's Great Escarpment, located on the border between South Africa and the mountain kingdom of Lesotho. Named "mountains of the dragon," they are also known as the uKhahlamba or "barrier of spears". 

This UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Maloti-Drakensberg Park, is a transnational property, recognized for both its natural beauty and the 4,000-year-old San rock art. 

Famed for its spectacular natural scenery, significant biodiversity, historical rock art by the San people, and role as a crucial water source for the region.
