Underberg describes that town's location beneath the Southern Drakensberg Mountains. The southern Drakensberg presents more fly-fishing opportunities than anywhere else in South Africa, with the Underberg Trout Fishing Club holding rights to more than 160km of river plus 60 dams with a surface area exceeding 400 hectares. The Underberg district further boasts three golf courses and numerous rivers for swimming, rafting, canoeing and tubing. Horse trails and polo fields add a further dimension to the available fun and excitement.
Near to Underberg lies Himeville
and the Himeville Museum which was built in 1900 as the last of Natal's loop-holed
forts before housing prisoners until 1972. An open-air exhibition of settler
and agricultural history is surrounded by display rooms housing military,
African traditional and even trout- fishing memorabilia. Further, the museum
is home to a valued collection of San artefacts and an insightful
interpretation of the life and times of these ancient ones is to be found
there.
