About Old Kraal and Yellowwood Forest Trail
The trails in the Giants Castle Nature Reserve are a must-walk if you are in the area.
To complete the easy one hour Old Kraal and Yellowwood Forest Trail, begin at the Injasuti office and take the Cowl Stream divergence. Then the trail turns left at the Old Kraal and back again through the stunning Yellowwood office, to the Old Woman Stream. The path finally leads back to the camp after crossing a stream.
The easy 2.5 km hike is suitable for the whole family, and is a real treat for hikers of any age.
