About

A waterfall a short drive outside Chimanimani village, with a picnic and braai site beside it. It is rated 4.8 from 31 Google reviews and suits families and anyone spending a few days in the area who wants an unhurried outing.

A visitor who drove out from Chimanimani found the site renovated after storm damage, with a good road down and new, very clean braai areas and ablutions. Others describe the falls as peaceful and pristine, and one keen camper thought it ideal for a quiet getaway.

A few practical points come up. In the morning the falls sit in shade and can be cold, so the afternoon may be warmer. The drive can take longer than planned because of cattle wandering on the roads, and one reviewer advises a vehicle with good clearance and power. Another suggests pairing it with other things to do around Chimanimani rather than making it the only stop of the day.

“We drove here from Chimanimani. The whole place has been renovated due to storm damage a couple of years ago. The road down is very good. The braai area and ablutions are new and very clean. The waterfalls are beautiful. We went in the morning and it was quite cold in the shade.…”

“Went with my family. It was an amazing experience. Breathtaking view. However this can’t be your only activity for the day. If planned well, the city has so much to give. Remember kungoenda nemota yakakwirira and inodhonza”
