Howick Falls

Howick Falls, located near Durban in South Africa, is a striking natural wonder where the white water plunges 310 feet (95 meters) into a deep pool. According to local legend, this pool is the home of Inkanyamba, a mythical serpent-like creature with the head of a horse. The creature’s legendary temper is said to be responsible for the region’s seasonal storms, and its presence has given the waterfall the Zulu name KwaNogqaza, meaning ‘place of the tall one.’ Visitors can experience the dramatic sight of the cascading water and the rich cultural heritage that surrounds this impressive landmark.
