Drakensberg Warnings Or Dangers Tips by Bushman23 Top 5 Page for this destination

Narrow roads

Be wary when driving in the Drakensberg, as most of the roads become narrow, and do not have road markings. Most roads are also quite curvy, resulting in lots of blind corners.

So drive slow, enjoy the scenery, and get to your destination in one piece.

Snakes galore...

Be careful walking anywhere in the mountains, Puff Adders, Berg Adders & Rinkals are very common. You do not want to get bitten by one of these while you are still a couple of hours from home!

Street Vendors

Be aware of local youngsters selling souvenirs on the side of the road. Although pretty, the souvenirs are likely to break before you get back to your hotel. For many of these guys, this is their only source of income.

Driving in the Drakensberg
