Injisuthi
Injisuthi is in the northern section of the Giant's Castle area of the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg Park.
This hutted camp is cradled between the Injisuthi and Cowl Fork rivers at the head of the Injisuthi Valley. It is surrounded by magnificent scenery and is dominated by Cathkin Peak, Monk's Cowl and Champagne Castle.
Visitors may undertake many interesting walks into the Mdedelo Wilderness Area, as well as a guided walk to the Battle Cave, famous for its bushman rock art.
Several kilometres of trout waters provide an excellent opportunity for fly-fishing.
Three caves, the Lower Injisuthi Cave, Upper Injisuthi Cave and Grindstone Cave are ideal overnight stops for hikers.
