uKHAHLAMBA DRAKENSBERG PARK MOUNTAINS - CULTURE
The Drakensberg is rich in cultural heritage. It is home to 35% of South Africa's San rock art sites. In South Africa the San inhabited the Drakensberg from the late Stone Age times until the late nineteenth century. The San had very few material possessions and did not build permanent shelters, but lived either under sandstone overhangs or temporary grass shelters. 

They left some of the finest examples of rock art in the world. The most common types of paintings are animal figures with many eland, an animal they considered sacred, and human figures depicting their way of life. It is truly an awe inspiring experience to view this rock art. Guided Walks to some rock art shelters can be booked at Giants Castle, Injisuthi, Kamberg, Cathedral Peak and Royal Natal. There is a new Rock Art Interpretive Centre at Kamberg that provides an excellent audio visual experience. In late 2003 the new San Rock Art Interpretive Centre at Didima is due to open and this will provide an interactive experience as well as an impressive audio visual show in a huge rock overhang diarama.
