Giants Castle is located right up against the mountains of the DrakensbergGiants Castle is thought to be a mountain game reserve in the central region of the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park.  It takes its name from the silhouette of the peaks and escarpment that resemble the profile of a sleeping giant. Giant's Castle camp has been refurbished with an additional 28 new self-catering chalets, curio shop, Izimbali Restaurant and a fully licensed bar.   Attractions to this famous reserve are endless: spectacular hikes, fascinating rock art presentation in the Main Caves, the famous Lammergeyer Hide, guided walks, mountain track drives, birding, trout fishing... the list goes on.

Izimbali restaurant and bar provides guests with the option of fully catered meals in its warm and relaxed atmosphere.

Giants Castle is located right up against the mountains of the DrakensbergGiants Castle Game Reserve lies against the impressive drakensberg Massif and stretches from the foothills to the very top of the 'Berg. It has a most attractive rest camp from which walks and trails radiate in all directions. Two or three days in the reserve will net the visitor most of the available birds species - probably 100 or more - but some will take more effort to see than the casual visitor may be prepared to make. The scenery is breathtaking and worth the visit for its own sake. The birding is tremendously rewarding, even on the most casual morning or afternoon stroll. A vulture hide allows unique birding in winter and the Main Caves Museum gives an insight into the past life of the San People.

The weather is treacherous, especially in summer, so take rainwear and warm clothing at all times.
