Thabana Ntlenyana -- or "beautiful little mountain" in the Sesotho language -- is the highest mountain in southern Africa at 3,482 m (11,424 ft). It is also the highest peak in Maloti-Drakensberg Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001. The Park spans the border between Lesotho and South Africa and includes Sehlabathebe National Park (6,500 ha or 16,061 acres) in Lesotho and Khahlamba Drakensberg Park (242,813 ha or 600,000 acres) in South Africa. Maloti-Drakensberg Park is renowned for its spectacular natural landscape, varied wildlife, and rock paintings made by the San people over a 4,000-year period.
