Tugela Falls
The Tugela Falls is the second highest waterfall in the world
The
source of the Tugela River is the Mont-Aux-Sources plateau which extends
several kilometers beyond The Amphitheater escarpment from which the falls
drop. There is an undeveloped camp site and mountain hut immediately above
the Tugela falls.
Tugela Falls is the second highest waterfall in the world. The Tugela falls
cascades over a total of 5 free-leaping falls of 948 m (3,110
ft). The Tugela falls are located in the Northern
Drakensberg in the Royal
Natal National Park.
The Tugela Falls are easily viewed after a heavy rain from the main travel
road into the park, glistening from the reflection of the late afternoon
sun.
There are two trails to the Tugela
Falls. The most spectacular trail is to the top of Mount-Aux-Sources, which
starts at the Sentinel
car park. From
here it is a relatively easy climb to the top of the Amphitheatre.
You can gain easy access to the summit via two chain ladders. This is the
only day hiking trail which will take you to the top of the Drakensberg
escarpment.
Another trail to the foot of the Tugela Falls starts at Royal Natal National
Park. The last part of the hike to the Tugela Falls is a boulder hop.
A little chain ladder takes you over the final stretch from where you have
a stunning view of the falls rushing down the Amphitheater in the series
of five spectacular cascades
