Royal Natal National Park, Nature reserve in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Royal Natal National Park covers 80.94 square kilometres of the Drakensberg in KwaZulu-Natal. Its Amphitheatre is a rock wall 5 kilometres long and up to 1,200 metres high, between the Sentinel (3,165 m) and Eastern Buttress (3,047 m). The Tugela Falls drop 948 metres in five steps, and the Policeman's Helmet is a rock feature popular with hikers.

The park was established in 1916 and protects an area where San people hunted for centuries and left behind rock paintings. These cultural remains tell the story of human presence in this mountain region over many generations.

The park's name honours the British royal family rather than a specific monarch; it was established in 1916, when George V was king. The San people left rock paintings across these mountains before leaving the area. Today the Mont-aux-Sources Challenge brings cross-country runners together each year to cover a 50-kilometre route in under five hours.

Visitors can stay at campgrounds or self-catering accommodations, each offering different types of mountain experiences. It is wise to arrive early and prepare for changing weather conditions, especially at higher elevations.

The Tugela Falls plunge over 900 meters down and rank among the world's highest free-falling waterfalls. Many visitors do not realize that the best views of this waterfall come from hiking to the Amphitheatre edge.
