Starting at Cobham (Pholela Hut behind you) walk alongside the campsite to your right and cross the Pholela River suspension bridge ahead. You are backtracking along day one of the Giant’s Cup Trail path.
Stay on the path that turns left after the suspension bridge, about 600m along the path splits left crossing Trout Beck River which is the Giants Cup Trail. You can continue on this path or head right past bypass ridge. Both paths join up again a little while later.
Just after 7km into the hike, the Giants Path Trail path you have been on turns right to Ngenwa Cave, continue straight, you are now on the path to Gxalingenwa Cave. Just after 12km's on your left up a steep path after crossing wooden bridge is Gxalingenwa Cave.
It is a good idea to collect some water from the Gxalingenwa river at this point in winter before hiking up to the cave.
On day 2 start back on the same path, about 2km along take the turnoff to the right on a undulating traverse. After about 2km the path curves sharply round to the right with Emerald stream ahead.
You cross the river twice before it stays to the right-hand bank for the last 2.5 km and pass Pinnacle Rock where the San Rock Art depicts spiritual ceremonies and the Sharma's transformation to other forms. It’s about 3km from here back to Cobham on the same path.
