Eventually the road reaches the upper end of the valley and a broad, grassland plain. At an altitude of 2000m, this rolling grassland, appropriately called Highmoor, fades towards the distant peaks of Giant's Castle. Highmoor's only accommodation is a camp site occupying a superb position on a hill crest overlooking the Klein Mooi's deeply-incised valley. Several lovely trails lead across the surrounding grasslands, and visitors can venture north into Giant's Castle, or south across the Mkhomazi Wilderness Area. Many raptors, such as black eagle, jackal buzzard and lammergeyer, are found in this area. |
