Hiking trail in the Drakensberg Mountains

Highlight • Trail

The path, 2-3 hours, partly leads along the slope past the waterfall or almost underneath it. I walked in the late afternoon and I didn't meet anyone along the way. However, monkeys can be found.

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!
