The ''Golden Gate Highlands National Park'' and the ''Royal Natal National Park''

From Clarens we drove through the ''Golden Gate Highlands National Park'', then around the Sterkfontein Dam and from Free State into KwaZulu-Natal. Our first stop in Natal was the ''Royal Natal National Park'' where we were keen on seeing the San rock-paintings. 

Large sandstone formations in the Golden Gate NP

An even bigger one!



Sadly no time for hiking...

And we could not not post any animals!

The Woodstock Dam. Just like you will find Bethlehem, Virginia and Heidelberg in South Africa!

Royal Natal NP. The line.

The real cannibal village! Not anymore though!

San (Bushman) rock-art over 100 years old.

It's just amazing driving through this stunning landscapes and being part of it all. Fun fact: originally called ''Natal National Park'' it had to be renamed to ''Royal Natal National Park'' after Queen Elizabeth II  and her family visited the park in 1947. (The Queen left a little something there for that to happen...) 
It was just freaking awesome! We will return!!!!!!!!!
Cheers and Tschüss
