Waterfalls in South Africa

While Southern Africa is renowned as a top safari destination, exploring the attractions near your holiday spot may reveal that African Vacation Safaris offers a wealth of experiences beyond just wildlife viewing. The mountainous and forested landscape of Southern Africa possesses an enchanting quality, making it easy for travelers to perceive it as more aligned with European scenery.

A number of the earliest European explorers shared similar sentiments and ultimately chose to settle in these safari destinations that resembled their homeland, yet offered much more pleasant weather! The distinctive geography of South Africa fosters ideal conditions for the creation of many stunning waterfalls. From the majestic Victoria Falls to lesser-known but equally enchanting smaller cascades, Southern Africa’s waterfalls are a sight to behold and definitely worth including in your next African safari with African Vacation Safaris.
