This waterfall is a hidden gem in the Drakensberg. The park and surrounding area has magnificent scenery, beautiful waterfalls/rivers and great trekking. Lotheni Nature Reserve is in the remote section of the Ukhahlamba Drakensberg mountains, South Africa.
There are many great walking trails, but be sure to get there early and plan accordingly as it is out of the way and you have to drive on dust roads with no gas/petrol stations for at least 40-70km.
We were told that the Jacobs ladder hike was about 2-3 hours round trip. Unfortunately we arrived too late in the day to do the hike, so instead we went swimming in the fresh water pools.
After talking with some locals, they directed us up stream where we found this lovely waterfall.
Absolutely breathtaking and what a surprise. We were the only people there to enjoy the lovely, cold mountain waters. There are three pools to this waterfall and the top pool was difficult to access due to the terrain.
If you do go to this area and enjoy hiking, waterfalls and all the natural beauty, be sure to give yourself some time so you can make the most of the area.

"The location was perfect for the purpose of my trip. Staff - super friendly and extremely helpful at all times. I can't rate them high enough! Accommodation was adequate. Very dark room - needs some more lighting. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom - needs a re-vamp. Load -shedding was well managed. "

"Beautiful view of the dam, and the rustic but well-kept property adds to the charm of a relaxing weekend getaway. Huge thanks to Alex for being flexible in accommodating us for the lovely breakfast!"

"Overall a great stay. A bit far but nice and tranquil. The advert indicated we would have access to wifi which we did not (it would have been great since we were a bit far from everything). Very nice accommodations otherwise "

"This place is a small piece of heaven! Great service from all staff right from the very beginning. Before arrival - Comms were timely and accurate and helpful. The meals provided were great (especially the Oxtail stew! 😋) and delivered to your individual lodge. The situation of the lodge is beautiful - wherever you look the scenery transfixes you. Ideally placed for a trip over the Sani Pass and the ability to get close to nature with the resident game herds is second to none. Simply a superb place."
