Orion Mont Aux Sources Resort - Hotel Accommodation - Northern Drakensberg

Orion Mont-Aux-Sources Resort offers various hotel accommodation in the Northern Drakensberg. Orion Mont-Aux-Sources is named after Mont-Aux-Sources, the highest peak in the world-famous Amphitheatre in the northern Drakensberg. Measuring 3282 metres high, it was discovered in 1836 by French missionaries and christened Mont-Aux-Sources, or "mountain of springs". The mighty Tugela has its source here and plummets 2000 metres over the Mont-Aux-Sources plateau making it the second highest waterfall in the world.
