Royal Natal National Park

Royal Natal National Park, located in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, is recognized for its dramatic mountainous terrain that forms part of the Drakensberg range. Its most iconic feature, the Amphitheatre, is a sweeping cliff face that stretches over 5 km. The park is also home to Tugela Falls, one of the world's tallest waterfalls, cascading down the dramatic cliffs, particularly vibrant during the rainy season. This protected area hosts a variety of flora and fauna, providing a sanctuary for native wildlife such as elands and baboons, and numerous bird species. The park's diverse ecosystems range from grasslands to dense forests, offering visitors opportunities to explore an array of hiking trails, from easy walks to challenging multi-day treks. Adventure seekers can engage in rock climbing, guided horseback tours, and enjoy panoramic views that capture the natural beauty of the Drakensberg. Historical interest is piqued by the San rock art found in the surrounding areas, connecting visitors to the indigenous history of the region.
