About

A 105-metre waterfall dropping through mist-belt forest off Karkloof Road outside Howick, in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands. Entry to the falls and its picnic and braai area is free, and the site makes for a short scenic stop rather than a full day hike. Travel writers list it among the region's dog-friendly outdoor spots. It is a separate, publicly accessible site from the private Karkloof Nature Reserve nearby, which is not open to casual visitors.
