Reinstatement of the iconic giants cup 5-day hiking trail
The Giants Cup 5-Day Hiking Trail, located in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal region, is an iconic trail known for its scenic views and rich biodiversity. The trail, which runs through the Drakensberg Mountains, attracts eco-tourists and hiking enthusiasts, contributing to local economies. However, the trail and its infra- structure, including huts and bridges, required significant maintenance to ensure visitor safe- ty and enhance the overall hiking experience. This project, led by Wildlands Conservation Trust, focused on upgrading key facilities along the trail, including the Swiman hiking hut and two important trail bridges.
