Howick Falls

Conveniently located on the Midlands Meander, Howick Falls is one of the most dramatic natural sights on The Midlands and is well worth the effort of going to see. Normally a single fall of water, it tumbles over the edge of a horseshoe gorge, crashing into a deep pool 95 metres below. Legend tells of murders and suicides at the falls and of a mythical giant serpent that lives in the pool, which only the local sangomas (traditional healers) can placate. It gives the place a sense of mystery that only adds to the dramatic scenery
