Hike the Nandi Falls Loop to hidden waterfalls
Drakensberge, South AfricaLoop · 9.5 km · 3:00 h · 539 m elevation gain
Hike the Nandi Falls Loop through the Drakensberg and reach hidden waterfalls fed by clear springs.
What you can experience here
The Nandi Falls Loop takes you along a quiet path to hidden waterfalls in the heart of the Drakensberg. Along the way you pass dense vegetation and follow natural streams whose clear spring water is perfect for refilling your bottle. The destination is Nandi Falls, whose cascades tumble over moss-covered rocks – an idyllic spot for a break by the water.
The trail starts at Monks Cowl (campsite and Monk's Cowl Car Park) and runs as a circular route with short ascents and descents and no demanding sections. The paths are mostly easy to walk, though some stretches can be slippery after rain. Walking time is around 2.5 to 3 hours. It is advisable to bring enough water and have sure footing, as some sections lead over damp rocks.
