Forest Falls is 17 km from Graskop on the R532 road towards Sabie, immediately before the railway crossing. A refreshing walk that takes you through fragrant pine forests to the falls - the only waterfall in the area that is wider than what it is high. Forest Falls is a delightful place to visit, but you are not allowed to drive there. You have to park at the picnic spot and walk the 7 km circular route to the falls. Permits (at R20/person) for this walk is available from the guard at the Picnic spot, or from the Forest Industry Museum in Sabie.

This waterfall is wider than it is tall. And that is why it is worth it to visit this place. Have a quick dip in the waters by the falls to cool off from the hike. The falls are reached via a short hiking trail of about 3kms and well worth the effort.

About Forest Falls Walking through the forests of the Panorama Route, breathing in the crisp, clear air and feeling the warmth of the dappled sunshine on your back is a truly special way to experience Mpumalanga. Forest Falls is an exquisite waterfall that is nestled just 18 kilometres from Sabie, en route to Graskop, right in the heart of this beautiful province. Did you know? Forest Falls is only accessible on foot, as vehicles are not allowed to drive through the forest. Park at the picnic spot and head out on the scenic circular route, which is seven kilometres long. The walk takes you through the forests of South Africa’s timber hub, showcasing wonderful varieties of trees and birds. When you reach the Forest Falls, which is the only waterfall in the area that is wider than it is high, you can have a swim, or simply sit on the banks and enjoy the sheer power and elegance of cascading water. Because the Mac Mac Falls are relatively close, it makes for a fantastic day’s walking to visit both of these gorgeous attractions. There are toilets at the picnic spot too, for walkers’ convenience. A hiking permit costs R20 and can be obtained from the Forestry Museum in town. Graskop is a popular little tourist town, with plenty of charm and character. Sabie is a forestry town that smacks of old-world allure, and Pilgrim’s Rest tells the tale of the South Africa mining industry of yesteryear. Adding a visit to these towns when you see the falls is a must. Local natural wonders include Bourke’s Luck Potholes, God’s Window, Blyde River Canyon, and the intriguing Three Rondawels. The Kruger National Park is one of the top safari spots in the world and is about an hour’s drive from this area.

This is Mpumalanga's best-hidden gem. Some people have tried finding it, with no luck. It is situated between Graskop and Sabie and takes you on a walk through the forest before laying your eyes on it. The walk is approximately 7 km long, and you can leave your car at a picnic spot (cars are not allowed to drive in the forests). Allow at least 2 hours for the out and back walk.
