Giants Castle
Giant's Castle Nature Reserve lies in the central region of the
Drakensberg Mountains. There are grassy fields, streams, and
waterfalls dotted among the peaks and valleys of the reserve, which
is home to eland, bearded vulture, and other animals. There are
plenty of hiking trails and mountain climbing paths through the
stunning scenery, but the biggest draw of Giant's Castle is the San
rock art visible in the caves. Knowledgeable tour guides and the
Giant's Castle Main Caves Museum will give you insight into the
lives of these enigmatic people.
Information & Facts
Language
South Africa has 11 official languages, including
Afrikaans, English, Xhosa, Zulu and Sotho. English is widely
spoken.
Money
South Africa's currency is the Rand (ZAR), which is divided into
100 cents. Money can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily
limit for cash withdrawals) and major international credit cards
are widely accepted, except in petrol stations where cash is
required. Visitors should be vigilant when drawing cash from ATMs,
as con artists are known to operate there. Travellers cheques and
some foreign currencies are accepted at larger hotels and shops,
but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
Opening Times
Guided cave tours run hourly 9am-3pm.
