The magnificent Mzinyathi Falls are less than a 20 minute drive from Gateway, yes, that’s right, so close yet hardly anyone even knows these falls exist. The Mzinyathi river plunges down a beautiful sandstone amphitheater, over 100m into the Mzinyathi gorge, towering cliffs, thick forests, all makes for an incredible day out. This is also a very popular rock climbing spot and after heavy rains, the falls are a truly impressive sight. Guided hiking trails down into the gorge can also be arranged through the Durban Green Corridor.
Getting there
Head up the M25 (Curnick Ndlovu Highway) for about 12 km’s, at the big traffic circle in Inanda turn right. Take your first major tar road to the left after 600m, signposted Mzinyathi Falls. Proceed for almost 2km, cross the bridge over the small river turn left onto the Mr259 Rd. Not far down this tar road is a signposted turn to your left onto a dirt road to the falls (about 2km’s of reasonably bumpy dirt road but easily accessible with a sedan)
