High-lying ground, generous rainfall and heavy run-off have created spectacular waterfalls in this old gold-mining area along the eastern Drakensberg escarpment. There are, in fact, more waterfalls here than anywhere else in southern Africa. Several of them can be seen on an easy round trip between the towns of Sabie and Graskop. Most are well signposted and easy to reach by car. Enchanting as they are, waterfalls can be slippery and dangerous, and visitors are urged to heed the warning notices.
