If you are looking for challenging hiking trails in the Drakensberg mountain range, Cathedral Peak Natural Reserve is just the place for you. Drakensberg mountain ranges are a habitat for many plants and animals that can only be found in this region. When you visit the Cathedral Park Nature reserve you should expect more than a glimpse of Bearded vultures, Malachite sun birds and other exquisite birds, as well as baboons.
The Mike Pass offers a scenic view of the surrounding lowlands and Little Berg peak which overlooks the Didima Gorge. This is a good breakaway for those who are not as adventure minded.
