Amphitheatre, Drakensberg Tours Video - If any landscape lives up to its airbrushed, publicity-shot alter ego, it is the jagged, green sweep of the Drakensberg Ranges tabletop peaks. This forms the boundary between South Africa and the mountain kingdom of Lesotho, and offers some of the countrys most awe-inspiring landscapes. It provided the backdrop for the films Zulu (1964) and Yesterday (2004) and the setting for Alan Patons novel Cry, the Beloved Country, and is the inspiration for a million picture postcards. Within the area is a vast 243,000-hectare sweep of basalt summits and buttresses; this section was formally granted World Heritage status in November 2000, and was renamed uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park. The park is part of the wider Drakensberg region, extending from Royal Natal National Park in the north to Kokstad in the south, the region and battlefields around Estcourt and Ladysmith, and the southern Midlands. Today, some of the vistas are recognisably South African, particularly the unforgettable curve of the Amphitheatre in Royal Natal National Park. Prominent peaks include Mont-aux-Sources, the Sentinel, Eastern Buttress and Devils Tooth. Incredible Amphitheatre, Drakensberg Tours Video... https://youtube/watch?v=q9vtGa1uOMs
