Your Experience

Giant’s Castle Reserve is situated in the central region of the uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, a world heritage site, within the province of KwaZulu Natal province, South Africa. It gets its name from the huge rock formations towering over the lodge, when viewed in silhouette can look like a sleeping giant in profile.

This area rewards visitors with excellent hiking opportunities with panoramic views. Overnight hiking trails and day walks into the mountains might just be what you need if you are looking to for a digital detox and a break from the hard grind of day to day life. This reserve offers convenient, self catering accommodation in the Drakensberg.

You will have access to a number of additional activities such as, trout fishing (catch and release), picnicking, camping and swimming. The Izimbali Restaurant and bar provides you with the option of fully catered meals in its warm and relaxed atmosphere (if you aren't in the mood to cook). The area also boasts San rock art paintings and a museum where you can learn about these ancient communities. Much like in the days of the San, there are two designated caves in Giant’s Castle Reserve that you can sleep in for the night.

Perfect, if you are really looking for that ultimate intimate experience within the untouched landscape. Imagine waking up to greet the day from your cave as the sunrises over the mountains...
