Tugela Falls: Overnight Hike to World's Tallest Waterfall
Рет қаралды 2,251
Күн бұрынJoin me on another adventure as we head to the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa. Perhaps the most famous and popular hike of them all, the Tugela Falls Hike will take you to the top of the highest waterfall IN THE WORLD!!
The majority of people do this as a day hike, but if you have the experience and equipment, I highly recommend this as an overnight hike and you will see why! Waking up above the Drakensberg Amphitheater is an experience I will never forget.
I hope you enjoy this video! If you do, please like and subscribe! Questions? Feel free to post them in the comments below and I'll do my best to answer!

Awesome video! I love that hike (I'm from South Africa), the waterfall looks VERY different in the rainy season. Depending on your fitness, it is possible to hike up very close to the bottom of the falls as well.

As a South African, I've been up there a few times, because it is the easiest & fastest hike to the top of the escarpment...there are several other peaks & hikes too in the Drakensberg range eg. Cathedral Peak, Champaign Castle, Giants Castle, Injasuthi, Rhino Horn etc. It is truly breathtaking, the air is crisp & the mountain water pure & drinkable...Thanks só much!!! The view across from the Tugela Falls is called "The Devil's Tooth"...lol. There are also Eagles & Bearded Vultures to see. The little hotel (Witsieshoek) is amazing!!!

We are having a class reunion in SA in January after 50 years. One of the class mates suggested we hike at the Tugela falls. We will be coming from Melbourne. We are all 67-68 years old. Even though my husband and I are avid hikers, looking at the falls er… I don’t know 😅

It’s not too bad of a day hike!

How is safety for sleeping up there

Felt safe. Can be a bit cold and windy. It’s possible that there may be some locals that ask for money but I did not come across any.

It feels safe, very far from any townships and locations. Very likely that you will feel Wind and cold because of the altitude.
