Bergville is a small town situated in the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
It was established as Bergville Mountain Village in 1897 and is now the commercial centre for a dairy and cattle ranching area. A blockhouse was built by the British in the town during the Second Boer War.

Bergville is equidistant from Johannesburg and Durban and is also known as the gateway to the Northern Drakensberg. The Drakensberg mountains of South Africa or uKhahlamba (the Barrier of Spears) is a 200-kilometre-long mountainous wonderland and world heritage site and is the country's highest and most impressive mountain range rising to over 3 000 meters.

The largest proportion of the South African component of this area falls in the kingdom of KwaZulu-Natal. The inscription in late 2000 of Royal Natal Park as a World Heritage Site brought long-overdue recognition of its universal value to mankind. Meeting the criteria for both Natural and Cultural listings, the site can now officially boast 'superlative natural phenomena and beauty, the unique richness of biological diversity, the conservation of all-important endemic and threatened species plus masterpieces of human creative genius in the form of 35 000 'San rock art images'.
From the massive basalt cliffs of its northern reaches to the soaring sandstone buttresses in the south, the Berg - as it's popularly known - offers myriad delights to anyone of any age who needs to 'get away from it all'. Peace and quiet is the catchphrase amid this unsurpassed grandeur where the world's second-highest waterfall, the Tugela Falls, tumbles down a series of breathtaking cascades.
