Giants Cup Hatchery specializes in the production of live angling trout. With a breeding program based on the wild gene pool that has existed in the Umzimkulu headwaters since 1922, the farm hatches out up to a million fish per year and supplies angling fish throughout Kwazulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape Southern Drakensberg. The farm supplies more than 90% of the live fish for angling in its area of operation.

As a by-product, the hatchery also produces a couple of tons per month of table products. All fish, except for cold-smoked products, are supplied fresh and vacuum packed for added shelf life. Table products include:

whole rounds • deboned rounds • fillets • hot oak-smoked • cold oak-smoked.

Guest review

“Absolutely secluded beauty and tranquility!!! Just make sure you have a high vehicle to handle the road leading to the cabins. Right on the border of a nature reserve with lots of hiking trails and easy access to their own private fishing dam if you like trout fishing.”- Dillion Fletcher
