Waterfall Hikes & Tours
Waterfall Hikes
Louis will take you on fantastic adventures to see up to 6 waterfalls.
Tours range from easy to medium hikes and will take you across rocky beaches, through crystal mountain pools, and lush forests.
📸 Magwa & Our Secret Falls Tour
A short drive on our open safari Landcruiser, next to the plateau ridge and gorge, gets you to the mighty Magwa Falls. An astonishing 144m drop at the beginning of this massive crack will leave you in awe!
An easy hike around the falls, visiting all the various viewpoints, taking picture perfect photos.
Then we drive through Goso Forest to visit both falls in Mzizangwa. Taking a shower under both is simply a must!
On the way back, we use an alternative forest road for maximum views of Gwexintaba village from the highest viewpoint.
Then, back home we go.

📸 Mdeni Village Hike
(8km hike)
A guided hike down the plateau ridge and into the old Mdeni village. Explore more forest paths and river crossings and see a monkey or 2 maybe. Then to a spot where you stare 2km into the Magwa gorge and see the massive drop of the Waterfall. This is the one place where you realize the height of the falls fully.
Then we walk along foot paths, through forests, and then up the ridge with a winding zig zag path. Another cascading waterfall awaits you just around the corner. At the top, we catch our breath and admire the view from the top, where we’ve just walked.
Then we hike next to the Magwa Gorge with more Magwa Fall views and sheer cliffs all the way to the falls. Spectacular!
We walk around Magwa Falls then to Louis at Magwa Falls.

📸 Waterfall Bluff Safari & Hike
Rise and shine early to have breakfast and be ready by 08h00 to leave on a 2-hour scenic 4×4 drive to the starting point at Luphatana on an open safari Landcruiser.
The drive is a cultural experience of friendly faces, the dense Goso Forest, colourful huts, the Magwa Tea Estate, Angel Falls, and wide-open spaces.
Easy To Moderate Hike to Waterfall Bluff
A 4.5km relatively flat hike next to rocky shoreline, with rest places here and there, takes you to Waterfall Bluff. It’s about an hour’s hike.
Luphatana is famous for this powerful display of waves crashing against the rocks, sometimes up to 30m high in the air. A spectacular performance indeed.
At Waterfall Bluff, we have an hour to chill, admire Waterfall Bluff and eat lunch, kick off the shoes, take many photos, and maybe even take a shower under the falls.
The noisy silence can be felt!
On the way back, we visit the ‘Tea Room’, a sea cave hidden under the footpath to the falls!
Back at the Landcruiser, we 4×4 our way out.
Next is Angel Falls, the Magwa Tea Estate, and the dense Goso Forest.
Back at “Louis at Magwa Falls”, you can take a warm shower. A warm, crackling camp-fire awaits you!
