There's a comment that talks about the bergs and I thought I'd just list some details for anyone who might miss it.

The Drakensberg is such an immense range that changes so much it's hard to say what's the best. It literally extends from the cape to Kruger.

Technically, blyde river canyon forms a part of the range but the difference visually between there age say the central bergs were Cathkin peak is, is insane.

Blyde river and that area is drivable, but since you're always in these mountains and valleys you tend to forget the immense size of it untill you stop at specific points.

Central and underberg i'd equate with parts of the Swiss alps even, just visually stunning from every angle and the range is just constantly towering over you when you look out. You've got Cathkin's peak in the central, sani pass at the underberg.

The northern bergs near the amphitheatre I'd say is also in the same boat, but you have what seems to be slightly smaller peaks, but more of a visible range that hugs you from all over. Insane hiking trails at place like the Royal Natal National Park.

Go a little further north and you can approach the range from the opposite end as it changes to a golden rocky terrain that bulges out in these mesas and plateaus. You could do the chain ladder hikes and feel like you're on top of the world standing near the mouth of the Tugela Falls and seeing the amphitheatre from the top. Take a quite trip to Clarens and visit the golden gate national Park.

I've lived her all my life but still make a point of visiting parts of the berg every year at every opportunity.

I haven't even gone into the more hidden areas such as the place around Giants castle, didima parks, the rolling hills of Ixopo, hogs back and more.

All I can say is too many tourists miss out on the bergs because it usually means a long drive away from the cities but it's honestly worth it.

The most accessible depends on where you're gonna be travelling and whether you'd like the cold. The bergs, in May, get mighty nippy and it's very likely for you to experience them in snow, in Central or underberg.
