Berlin Falls

Mpumalanga’s drenching concentration of waterfalls makes it a must-visit on a tour of this region of South Africa. The Berlin Falls are the second-highest in the province at 80m. The falls resemble a spent candle starting at the top with a crooked wick; the water spills over the sides like steamy rivulets of white wax.

Overview

The Berlin Falls got its name from German miners who arrived in South Africa during the Barberton Gold Rush of 1883.

Many locations and towns in this area are named after the hometowns of translocated foreigners. Today, the falls attract many local and international visitors.

Located near the remarkable window of the world, God’s Window, the Berlin Falls offer a breathtaking visual for travelers, with its sheer ruddy cliff sides and deep green basin. The falls are but one of the spectacular staples on the Panorama Route and an easy distance from the natural marvel of the Blyde River Canyon.

Private tours from Johannesburg to the Kruger National Park will often visit the Panoramic route and stop at these falls.
