This waterfall empties straight into the sea, and you can navigate almost under it in a boat (well get an experienced boatman, there are some tricky sections). You can take a trip from the harbour at GRSE (Grand River South East, but everybody calls it GRSE). While you are there, you can take a trip to Ile aux Cerfs, a lovely island with beautiful beaches, but also alas with lots of overpriced excursions, gift shops and restaurants.
The Cascade de Chamarel is a peaceful spot tucked into the lush greenery of Mauritius. The waterfall drops about 100 meters, creating a quiet, scenic setting that’s worth a visit. It’s close to the Seven Coloured Earths, and is usually part of the standard “South-Island” full-day tour. The area feels calm and natural, perfect for a short break to enjoy the sound of flowing water and the surrounding forest. A nice spot to unwind.
This is what trail running is all about in Cape Town; this was shot on this afternoon’s run on the contour path just past Skeleton Gorge (Window Gorge?).
We had a very late winter storm over the weekend, and finally today has dawned into a wonderfully clear blue sky. But the mountain streams are gushing with all the runoff, and if you look around you can find some wonderful waterfalls that are usually dry or just a small trickle.
We had quite a lot of rain on Saturda. which made the waterfalls on the mountain really full today. This is a 1.3 second exposure of one of the waterfalls on Boyes Drive, behind Kalk Bay.
