Drive to the end of road to KZN wildlife office and get your hiking permit from the friendly staff. A fantastic 5 hour hike to the 3 pools and waterfall. Up and over a small mountain with lovely proteas and other wildlife along the way. Swim in the cold water pools or have fun under the waterfall. A fantastic day out in nature.

What time of the year is the best for hiking Giants Cup? We read they have scheduled "veld burns"
Answer from Natasha

Hi, Spring is always a good time of year for hiking as the thunder storms haven't yet started and the cold of winter has passed. There are 'veld burns' every winter around this time of year. Autumn is also always a great time for hiking.

"The last stretch of the road to get to Giants Cup cottages is quite rough and high rise vehicles are recommended."
