Hiking in the South African Drakensberg is a popular activity in South Africa. GPS navigation has eased the navigation in the mountains significantly.

Current maps distributed by KZN (KwaZulu-Natal) Wildlife uses the Cape datum as the geodesic reference. GPS users should be careful to use the correct datum as WGS 84 is not always the default.
