Forrest Falls
Forrest Falls
Forrest Falls is a striking waterfall located along the Panorama Route near Sabie in Mpumalanga, South Africa, set within the forests of the Mac-Mac area. It is notably wider than it is tall, making it a distinctive sight among the region's many cascades.
Visitors can swim in the pool at its base or simply sit on the banks and take in the power and elegance of the falling water.
The falls are reached on foot through indigenous forest, and a hiking permit (R20 at time of writing) is available from the Forestry Museum in Sabie. A picnic spot with toilets is provided for walkers.
Because Mac-Mac Falls lies relatively nearby, the two waterfalls can conveniently be combined into a rewarding day's walk.
