And if you really want to explore the mountain then you can join a hiking expedition or take part in other sports including rock climbing.

Amphitheatre and Tungela Falls

At over three miles long, the Amphitheatre in the Royal Natal National Park in Kwazulu-Natal Province is one of the most awe-inspiring natural sights in South Africa. With a summit over 3,000 metres above sea level, this huge cliff is 1,220 metres high along its length, and is a colossal sight to behold. One of the most impressive features of the Amphitheatre is Tungela Falls, which should not be missed if you make the trip here. This is the second-highest waterfall on Earth, with only Angel Falls in Venezuela higher. In total, the water cascades down from 948 metres in five different drops, with the largest single fall being a truly impressive 411 metres.
