Latest Underberg hotel reviews
An excellent spot for twitchers!
CatherineReichardt Says: The bird life of the Southern Drakensberg is wonderful, and an interesting combination of the grassland and mountain species with water birds thrown in for good measure around the streams and dams.The water birds in particular were special, and from the stoep of our cabin at...
