Giant's Castle Game Reserve lies in the Central Berg region of the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park. Its name comes from the silhouette of the mountain escarpment that resembles the profile of a sleeping giant.

Giant's Castle camp is situated on a grassy plateau among the deep valleys running down from the face of the High Drakensberg, offering glorious views for hikers and mountain climbers. Well preserved San rock art is high among its special attractions. Visit the Main Caves Museum for a fascinating insight into the past lifestyle of the San people.

Eland and the majestic bearded vulture are 2 of the popular wildlife found in the Giant's Castle Game Reserve. The vulture restaurant is open in winter for visitors to watch bearded vultures and other endangered species feeding.

• 37 x 2-bed chalets with en-suite facilities, a lounge / dining area and fully appointed kitchens
• 4 x 4-bed chalets with 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a lounge / dining area and a fully equipped kitchen
