Located at the botanical garden is this beautiful waterfall. You have to get the key from the reception before 1:30pm to open the gate to the waterfall, that is really important because they’re kind of strict to give the key after the time. After a short hike you can visit different small waterfalls with pools and on top there is the biggest waterfall it is soooo idyllic and calm. But be careful there can be snakes, leopards and monkeys around so keep watching. And it is not possible to go for a swim, but it’s definitely worth to visit.

Really great walk, definitely will do it again.We first went to Disa Waterfall on the left side. The Disa waterfall path is wheelchair friendly! From there we took the little link path to the Leopards Kloof trail. The trail is fairly easy and crosses the small river a couple of times along the trail. You will need to step from rock to rock to cross the river. Near the end of the trail there is a series of ladders to get to the very top pool. It seems like some people are not comfortable with the ladders as half our group decided to not go up them. If you do venture up the ladders once at the top pool you can see the waterfall stretching high up above.

Beautiful Afromontane forest within the gorge. Well marked path that does require some rock-hopping over the river crossings. Steep climb to the various cascade levels, but the effort is rewarded with spectacular waterfalls and trees.

This very scenic trail takes you from the gardens into the Kloof ending at the waterfall. It is an easy trail that is approximately 1.5km (one way) ending in a few ladders to climb at the end to reach the waterfall. Ensure to get the key to the gate at reception for a refundable deposit of R50 (at the time of the posting). No toilets are available on this trail.

You have to go to the Harold Porter Botanical garden to get access to the waterfall. The garden itself is beautiful and well worth visiting. Make sure to get there early or book a key for the gate the previous day. You follow the picturesque trail up to the point where you have to unlock the gate for the trail that leads to the waterfall. Make sure you take water, wear sunblock and a hat.There are places where you have to climb up and down ladders.Because it was raining a lot, everywhere we had to cross the stream we had to get into the water. There are too many places where you have to cross so, we just left our shoes on and walked with wet shoes. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes.The trail is challenging but at least not too far. I suggest you take some type of walking stick with. It just helps so much when you have to cross the stream/river and for going over the rocks etc.

This is a short hike that starts at the Harold Porter Botanical Garden. It is a nice easy hike for an elderly but fit person or children has some wooden ladders to climb but saw older people navigate them with ease. Harold porter also has a restaurant and ablution facilities. They also have a nursery that sells indigenous plant that are very well priced. You not allowed to swim in the pools and you pay an entrance fee and need to get a key to the trail that you are refunded if you return the key. I didn't pay for entrance fee. So can't tell you the cost .

This waterfall is in the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens in Bettys Bay. There is an entrance fee if R25 for adults and R15 for students. if you have a Kirstenbosch membership then you can use this. After the recent rains in April the waterfalls are stunning and the surrounds are kept very clean. There are baboons in the area - Please don't feed them. The walk is beautiful and there are sone streams to cross and as you get closer to the falls there are some wooden ladders to get to the top. Wear hiking boots or similar shoes.

Oh this place is like Heaven on Earth! Talk about tranquil. Would recommend anyone to go and see those beautiful waterfalls. Quite a hike tho, so if you have small kids, ud have to reconsider as there are ladders that need to be climbed and little rivers to cross. Beautiful gardens to have a picnic in. Be aware of the baboons, they're beautiful and keep their distance if you keep yours. Best to go a few days after some good rain, the waterfalls will be fuller.
