The Drakensberg is the name given to the eastern portion of the Great Escarpment, which encloses the central Southern African plateau. Central Drakensberg is paradise for hikers and climbers with various trails and other adventures. 

Giants Castle, Kamberg, Highmoor and Injasuti offer the best collection of bushman rock art in the Drakensberg.  The Main Caves at Giants Castle is a large sandstone cave containing prehistoric San rock art.

Antbear Eco lodge is artistic in style and offers 2 lounges, a wine cellar, a small bar and a dining room.  The lodge also offer the option of private dining where they setup a table on the deck of your cave or your mountain view room and you dine by candlelight under the stars.

This lodge is one of the few pet-friendly places in the Drakensberg. Beautiful, vast views of the Drakensberg with plenty of ground for your dogs to roam and walk for hours. Your dogs will be happy with lots of dams to swim in and horses to discover. Two of the accommodation units at Antbear Lodge is fenced in so its really easy to leave your dog behind if you would like to explore some of the sights where pets are not that welcome.
