View from Mikes Pass in the Cathedral Peak Area

The Cathedral Peak Area  is situated in the Northern Drakensberg. Cathedral Peak has splendid scenery with the Doreen Falls as an excellent example of a Drakensberg waterfall. Views of the Central Drakensberg can be had by venturing to the top of Mike’s Pass (accessable with a 4×4 vehicle) and a natural feature of breath-taking nature is the Rainbow Gorge, with two enormous boulders forming a wedgesuch that you can pass under them. Didima Resort and San Art Centre, a KZN Wildlife Project is well worth a visit. A 4×4 trail leads from the Amphitheatre in the Northern Drakensberg to Cathedral Peak via the Mnweni Valley. It provides a challenging drive as well as a remoteness that is unique in today’s world.
