Highmoor
The beautiful Highmoor Nature Reserve lies within the Mkhomazi Wilderness area in the central section of the Maloti-Drakensberg Park. As its name suggests Highmoor is reached by a spectacularly winding road that reaches up towards Mount Lebanon and Cleopatra Mountain.

Its height means that its pretty and its virtually hidden and artfully designed campsites are of the highest in KwaZulu Natal.
