From this cave you have a breathtaking view of the valley and Giant's Castle. You will also find fire and sleeping spots of the Basotho, who use the Bannerman Pass as a smuggling route.

If you want to spend the night in a cave, you have to book it in advance at Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife. The price list can be found online on the Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife website: http://www.kznwildlife.com/Tariffs.html
