The 56m-high falls provide for wonderful photographic opportunities from the numerous well-maintained walkways and viewing platforms that have been installed here.
Advise your clients that the best time to visit is during the cooler months from April through to September to avoid the fierce heat of summer. However, the falls are most likely to be in full spate towards the end of the summer rainy season from February to April.
Visitors to this area can enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, rafting and game viewing. There are also many panoramic viewpoints, such as Echo Corner and Moon Rock, where they can alight from their vehicle to take pictures.
It’s best to visit these spots early in the day or in the late afternoon to avoid the intense heat of this area and to maximise photographic opportunities.
