The name "Drakensberg" is derived from the Afrikaans translation of the Dutch term "Dragon Mountains," which refers to the rugged and imposing nature of this mountain range. The name is believed to have originated from early European explorers who likened the peaks to the spines of a dragon. In Zulu, the range is called "uKhahlamba," meaning "barrier of spears," reflecting its significance in local culture and geography. The Drakensberg is renowned for its stunning landscapes, biodiversity, and rich cultural heritage.
