Just off the western side of the busy N3 highway that links Gauteng with Durban, lie the towering mountains of the Drakensberg. Lotheni Nature Reserve, in the southern Drakensberg is best reached via the quaint town of Nottingham Road.
This mountain range is a favourite photographic and birding destination. Not only is this because of the many endemic species found there but also because of the breath taking scenery, the incredible peace and most of all the ability to test oneself against the rugged terrain and wild weather that rolls rapidly across the peaks and valleys.
