Magwa Falls, Scenic viewpoint in Eastern Cape, South Africa
Magwa Falls drops 142 meters into a narrow canyon, surrounded by an active tea plantation covering 1,800 hectares in the Eastern Cape region.
The canyon formation resulted from substantial seismic movements that shaped the geographical features of South Africa's Wild Coast over geological periods.
The falls stand near Lusikisiki town, whose name derives from the sound of wind moving through river reeds in the local indigenous language.
Visitors reach the falls through an 8-kilometer drive from Lusikisiki, with observation points providing clear views of the water cascade.
The waterfall flows within South Africa's last remaining tea estate, creating a setting where natural water features meet agricultural landscapes.
