Giant's Castle Camp, South Africa

Giant's Castle Camp is located on a grassy highland between the subterranean valleys originating from the face of the High Drakensberg with the most breath taking views for mountain climbers and hikers.

Special attractions include marvelous rock art. Watch the bearded vultures and other endangered species feeding from the well-known vulture restaurant; open in winter. For fascinating insight into the former times and lifestyle of the San people you can visit the main Caves Museum.

There are four mountain huts at Giants, three of which are positioned just below the most important escarpment. Each hut sleeps eight and offers easy access to a choice of passes of which to climb to get to the top of the Drakensberg range. The fourth hut also sleeps four and can be found a little lower down, on a ridge, overlooking the exquisite Meander Valley.
