The spectacular Drakensberg Mountains have taken their rightful place on the international tourism stage with the proclamation of the 243,000 hectare uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park on 29 November 2000 as a World Heritage Site (WHS). In addition to recognising the unique natural beauty of the 'Berg, the WHS title also focuses world attention on the park's rich collection of rock art, the last visible signs of the San Peoples. In order for any site to be included in the World Heritage List it must meet one or more of the Natural Heritage Property or Cultural Heritage Property criteria. The uKhahlamba Drakensberg satisfies two of the four natural criteria and two of the cultural criteria.
