This South African Mountain Road Has Insane Views!

n South Africa, I captured the photo of a lifetime. But the real-life views? Even more breathtaking—photos don’t do it justice! 👮 Though safety can be a occasional concern, this land is 100% worth exploring deeply. 🌊 For oceans, Cape Town is the spot. ⛰️ But if you crave serenity, healing, and raw nature, head to the Drakensberg Mountains. Its surreal landscapes—towering peaks, rolling valleys—feel otherworldly. Hotels here blend into the scenery; wake up to mountain views, step outside to hike, horseback ride, or golf. Every activity unveils nature’s quiet magic. 🏨 Hotels to consider (book early—they fill fast year-round!): aha ALPINE Health Resort Drakensberg Sun Champagne Castle Hotel Little Switzerland 💰 Price range: R1500–R5000 (~RMB 600–2000), with consistent quality and surprises. 🍽️ Mountain cuisine isn’t my favorite, but many lodges have kitchens—pack ingredients (and instant noodles—my travel must-have!). 🛣️ Route: Durban → Drakensberg → Golden Highlands Gate → Clarens → Johannesburg 🍂 The journey dazzles with ever-changing terrain. Detour to Clarens, a quaint autumn-hued town so peaceful it slows time. Felt safe—perfect for a coffee-and-daydream pause. ⛺️ Saw European overlanders camping here—next trip, I’m staying under the stars! Clean, well-equipped sites promise epic sunrises/hikes. #SouthAfrica #TravelDeeper #Durban #Joburg #RoadTrip #ScenicDrives #HikingTheWorld🌄✨
