The Maloti-Drakensberg Park is renowned for its unique natural beauty of rising basaltic buttresses, sharp dramatic drops, golden sandstone ramparts, rolling high altitude grasslands, the pristine steep sided river valleys and rocky gorges all contribute to the gorgeousness of this site. This site also contains many caves and rock-shelters with a very large and concentrated group of paintings made by the San people over a period of 4,000 years, making it an apt choice to be certified as a mixed site for both its scenic natural beauty and rock art. South Africa has taken the lead in establishing peace parks by linking protected areas and ecosystems across international borders, making this an important representation on its money.
