Injasuti

Injasuti meaning "the place of the statisfied dog" goes a long way in describing this fertile and beautiful Drakensberg Valley. Situated in the northern section of the Giant's Castle area of the Natal Drakensberg Park, this hutted camp is cradled between the Injasuti (or little Tugela) and Cowl Fork rivers at the head of the Injasuti Valley.

Injasuti is surrounded by magnificent scenery and is dominated by Cathkin Peak, Monk's Cowl and Champagne Castle.
