Maloti-Drakensberg, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Lesotho and South Africa, recognized in 2000 and extended in 2013, is a stunning mountain range blending dramatic peaks with rich cultural heritage. Its basalt cliffs and sandstone formations shelter thousands of San rock art sites, dating back over 4,000 years, alongside diverse flora and fauna like the bearded vulture. This transnational site reflects Southern Africa’s natural and artistic legacy, preserving a unique fusion of geology and human history.
