LOVING WATHABA'S MAGIC
Wathaba is more than just a hiking trail; it's a vibrant ecosystem nestled in the Skurweberg Mountains. Here, you'll find an array of magnificent waterfalls and a rich tapestry of fauna and flora including wildflowers, mushrooms and lichens. The indigenous kloof vegetation boasts over a hundred different tree species, some of record size, creating a sanctuary for Mpumalanga's spectacular birdlife and a variety of small mammals, reptiles and amphibians. The Wathaba Rainbow Falls and a natural pool, just a three-minute walk upstream, offer a refreshing respite in summer and a daring swim in winter.
