The Cascades Pools

Highlight • River

Since the Cascades are not far from the Mahai Campsite, it can get crowded during the South African school holidays. But no problem: then you just continue along the river and discover one of the many other hidden pools!

The cascades invite for swimming and cooling. The water is clear and very clean. Now, at 34 degrees in November, that's a great thing. If you are looking for peace, just walk a little bit up the hill.
