The Royal National Park forms part of the Northern Drakensberg which is situated near Bergville in Kwazulu Natal Midlands. If you like mountains, cristal clear waterstreams and the most beautifull waterfalls it is the right place to go. The following hiking trails is realy fantastic and I have done some of them up to three times during different times of the year and I recommend the rainy season from October to March although it is very hot during that time, the cool and refreshing mountain water in the streams and under the waterfalls is realy appreciated.
