The Drakensberg Range is regarded, together with Ethiopia's [[Simien Mountains]], as one of the two finest erosional mountain ranges on Earth. Because of their near-unique geological formation, the range has an extraordinarily high percentage of cliff faces making up its length, particularly along the highest portion of the range.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} This portion of the range is virtually uninterrupted cliff faces, ranging from {{convert|600|m|ft|abbr=on}} to {{convert|1200|m|ft|abbr=on}} in height for almost {{convert|250|km|mi|abbr=on}}. Of all, the "Drakensberg Amphitheatre" (mentioned above) is most well known.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} Other notable cliffs include the [[Trojan Wall]], [[Cleft Peak (South Africa)|Cleft Peak]], [[Injisuthi Triplets]], [[Cathedral Peak (South Africa)|Cathedral Peak]], [[Monk's Cowl]], [[Mnweni Buttress]], etc. The cliff faces of the [[Blyde River Canyon]], technically still part of the Drakensberg, may be over {{convert|800|m|ft|abbr=on}}, with the main face of the Swadini Buttress approximately {{convert|1000|m|ft|abbr=on}} tall. **[[Amphitheatre (Drakensberg)|Drakensberg Amphitheatre]], South Africa {{convert|1200|m|ft|abbr=on}} above base, {{convert|5|km|mi|abbr=on}} long. The [[Tugela Falls]], the world's second tallest waterfall, falls {{convert|948|m|ft|abbr=on}} over the edge of the cliff face. * Karambony, Madagascar, {{convert|380|m|ft|abbr=on}} above base. * [[Mount Meru, Tanzania]] Caldera Cliffs, {{convert|1500|m|ft|abbr=on}} * Tsaranoro, Madagascar, {{convert|700|m|ft|abbr=on}} above base
