- The Amphitheatre is one of the geographical features of the Northern Drakensberg, South Africa, and is widely regarded as one of the most impressive cliff faces on earth. The cliff face of the Amphitheatre is roughly three times the size of the total combined area of all the cliff faces in Yosemite's famous El Capitan, and more than 10 times the size of El Capitan's most famous (South Western) face. It is part of the Royal Natal National Park. The Amphitheatre is over 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) in length and has precipitous cliffs rising approximately 1,220 metres (4,000 ft) along its entire length. The bottom of the valley floor, from where many photographs of the mountain structure are taken, is over 1,830 metres (6,000 ft) below the highest point of the amphitheatre (the summit being over 3,050 metres (10,000 ft) above sea level—with Mont-Aux-Sources just over 3,254 metres (11,000 ft) above sea level). The Tugela Falls, the world's second tallest falls, plunge over 948 metres (3,100 ft) from the Amphitheatre's cliff tops. The mountain hiking trail to the top of Mount-Aux-Sources starts at the Sentinel car park above the Witsieshoek Mountain Lodge, over 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) above sea level, (Witsieshoek in turn can only be reached via Phuthaditjhaba) from where it is a relatively short climb to the top of the Amphitheatre. Via two chain ladders one can gain easy access to the summit. The trip takes only 5 hours return, not including time taken on top of the mountain. This is the only day hiking trail which will take one to the top of the Drakensberg escarpment. Another trail to the foot of the Tugela Falls starts at Royal Natal National Park. The easy seven kilometre gradient up the Tugela gorge winds through indigenous forests. The last part of the hike to the Tugela Falls is a boulder hop. A little chain ladder takes one over the final stretch from where there is are views of the falls rushing down the Amphitheatre in a series of five cascades. The Tugela Falls, which is situated at the top of the Amphitheatre is said to be the "highlight of Drakensberg". In 1964, film director Cy Endfield shot the exterior locations in the mountainous Drakensberg National Park for the epic war film Zulu starring Michael Caine and Stanley Baker. The set for the British field hospital and supply depot at Rorke's Drift was created by the Tugela River with the Amphitheatre in the background. The real location of the battle at Rorke's Drift is some way away from the Amphitheatre, not to be confused with Isandlwana the location for the Battle of Isandlwana which occurred before Rorke's drift and was the basis for the movie Zulu Dawn.

- L'Amphithéâtre est une formation rocheuse située dans le nord de la chaîne de montagnes du Drakensberg, dans la province du KwaZulu-Natal en Afrique du Sud. Considéré comme l'un des panoramas les plus spectaculaires du monde, la falaise de l'Amphithéâtre est environ dix fois plus large que le célèbre El Capitan du parc national de Yosemite. Il fait partie du parc national du Royal Natal. L'Amphithéâtre mesure plus de 5 kilomètres de long sur 1 220 mètres de haut. Le sommet culmine à plus de 3 050 mètres d'altitude. Les chutes de la Tugela, les deuxièmes plus hautes du monde, plongent de plus de 948 mètres depuis la falaise de l'Amphithéâtre. C'est un paradis pour les randonneurs expérimentés. Le site a servi de décor au tournage du film Zoulou avec Michael Caine. (fr)
- Drakensberg amfiteater är en enorm klippformation i norra Drakensberg i Sydafrika. Klippformationen är en del av Royal Natal nationalpark. Amfiteaterns yta är ungefär tre gånger så stor som det totala sammanlagda området för alla klippor i El Capitan i Yosemite nationalpark i Kalifornien, USA. Klippformationen Drakensberg amfiteater är över fem kilometer lång och klipporna är omkring 1200 meter höga. Dalens botten ligger omkring 1830 meter under amfiteaterns högsta punkt. Tugelafallen som är världens näst högsta vattenfall faller 948 meter utmed amfiteaterns klippor. (sv)
