Bask in the brilliance of Mac-Mac Falls
Mac-Mac Falls was named after Scottish gold miners found the first payable amount of gold in the nearby lying Mac-Mac between 1840 and 1870.
The Mac-Mac Falls can be found approximately 13km from Sabie in Graskop’s direction. A steep walk along a cement pathway will take you to the viewing platform above the falls. Safe parking, toilet facilities and curio stalls are available. The falls is a great spot for a hike or a relaxing family picnic or just a Sunday trip.
The 65m high Mac-Mac Falls in the Mac-Mac River is a declared national monument. This waterfall was originally a single stream, but in an attempt to work the rich gold-bearing reef over which it plunges, gold miners blasted it with dynamite to divert the river.
You can also take the “Waterfall Tour” which includes the Berlin Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Horseshoe Falls, Lisbon Falls, Lone Creek Falls and Maria Shires Falls.
