Sleeping on the cliffs

We parked our tent 3 meter from the edge close to the Tugela falls that was frozen at the time. The cliffs drop +-1km down while at the top you have a spectacular view of the Amphitheatre, Devel's Tooth and Tooth Pick. No picture can do the view justice. Posted by Picasa

Drakensberg - Mont-aux-Sources

In 1836, the French missionaries Arbousset and Daumas named the largest of the domes rising from the plateau Mont-aux-Sources - a literal description of this source of five rivers. This is me at the summit of Mont-aux-Sources after a though be very rewarding climb. The Tugela river is one of the rivers originating from Mont-aux-Sources and plummets 948m of the cliff making it the world's seconds highest waterfall. Posted by Picasa

Drakensberg - Royal Natal National Park

At the top of the chain ladders in the Drakensberg leading to the Amphitheatre, a rock wall about 5km in length, and approximately 1000m in height between the Sentinel (3 165m) and Eastern Buttress (3 047m), with a number of domes rising from its relatively flat summit plateau.
