The breathtaking Wathaba Hiking Trails offers all hikers and nature lovers a piece of heaven, with its tranquillity and beautiful surroundings. Wathaba is a wilderness area in the Skurweberg Mountains boasting magnificent waterfalls, fauna and flora. A three-minute walk upstream from the base camps brings you to the stunning WATHABA RAINBOW FALLS and a natural pool surrounded by wildflowers and dense forest vegetation. During the summer the water is cool and refreshing, especially after a walk up the mountain. There are two well-marked hiking trails.
Participation is based on a first come first serve basis. If the hike is filled up, we encourage you to add yourself to the waiting list. Often more spaces can be made available if required.
