![]() The Mac Mac Falls near Sabie in Mpumalanga |
|
The 70m high Mac Mac Falls is located right next to the Graskop Road, ±14km north of the town of Sabie. The Falls got its name because of all the Scottish gold prospectors who joined others in trekking to Mpumalanga during the various gold rushes in the late 1800's. Being Scots many had surnames starting on "Mac", e.g. MacDonald. Members of the local rural community trade handmade curios from permanent stalls near the falls. A paved path and steps lead down to a viewing platform which extends a short way over a cliff. The viewpoint and platform is placed above the ravine into which the waterfall plunges, a little way from the actual falls. The vantage point satisfies most visitors. However, the more adventurous can walk to the top of the falls by following the tar road a hundred metres or so and then following the stream to the falls. We have also found that the locals at the curios stalls will gladly point out an informal footpath leading down into the ravine and to the pool at the bottom of the falls. The path is overgrown and difficult to spot if you don't know where to find it. It is a rather rough hike and you have to bundu-bash a bit. If you're the kind of person who hates just looking at stuff and not experiencing it, it will be worth the trouble.
