Drakensberg Ukhahlamba is a striking large-format photographic work celebrating the breathtaking landscapes and rich natural heritage of the Drakensberg mountain range in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. Produced by Park Publishers in 2011, this visually impressive volume combines the talents of Andrew Attwood, Kerry Pentz, Paul Ross, and renowned wildlife photographer Roger de la Harpe to create an evocative tribute to one of Africa’s most spectacular wilderness regions.
The Drakensberg, known to the Zulu people as “Ukhahlamba” or “Barrier of Spears,” is a UNESCO World Heritage Site famed for its towering peaks, rolling grasslands, dramatic river systems, waterfalls, indigenous flora, and diverse wildlife. Drakensberg Ukhahlamba, a beautifully illustrated publication captures the essence of the region through high-quality full-colour photography accompanied by informative and accessible text. The book explores the landscapes, ecology, fauna, conservation significance, and tourism appeal of the greater Drakensberg area, making it equally suitable as a coffee-table display piece or a reference work for nature lovers and travellers.
Particular appeal lies in the local KwaZulu-Natal publishing connection, with production and photography rooted in Howick and the Midlands region. Books such as Drakensberg Ukhahlamba, focusing specifically on the Drakensberg and Zululand conservation areas remain consistently popular among collectors of Southern African travel, wildlife, and natural history publications.
An attractive addition for collectors of Africana, South African photography, conservation literature, eco-tourism, and Drakensberg-related works. The large-format presentation and rich imagery make this an excellent gift item for outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, birders, and visitors to the region.
