Bilanjil Falls
Bilanjil Falls
Bilanjil Falls is a waterfall located on the Thukela (Tugela) River in the Drakensberg escarpment of South Africa, situated approximately one kilometre beyond the famous Tugela Falls in the Amphitheatre area.
It serves as a popular overnight camping spot for hikers traversing the escarpment via the Sentinel Massif route, which involves a zig-zag trail, chain ladders, and a summit of the escarpment before reaching this area.
The campsite at Bilanjil Falls is particularly prized for the striking views it offers of Tugela Falls, one of the world's highest waterfalls, which drops nearly 1,000 metres into the KwaZulu-Natal valley below.
Hikers who camp here are rewarded with an immersive high-altitude experience under open skies in one of South Africa's most dramatic mountain landscapes.
