Cape Town, South Africa
The Royal Natal Park boasts some of the most spectacular South African mountain scenery which includes the Amphitheatre and views of Mont-aux-Sources, where the Orange River has its source. Facilities and ablutions are very well maintained and the variety of walks and hiking trails lead to tranquil areas of immense beauty, unexpected streams and pools where one can bathe in absolute solitude. There is also a trail which leads to the foot of the famous Tugela Falls where the "Tugela plummets 948m in five clear leaps, making it the world's second highest waterfall." An absolutely awe-inspiring return to nature and must-see for any visitor to the region.
