Mac-Mac Falls, Dual-stream waterfall in Mpumalanga, South Africa

The Mac-Mac Falls drops 65 meters from the Mac-Mac River into a deep gorge, creating two parallel water streams within the forest reserve.

Gold miners in the 19th century used dynamite on the original single stream waterfall, permanently splitting it into two separate cascading flows.

The Provincial Heritage Site designation in 1983 recognizes both the waterfall and the indigenous forest as important natural landmarks of Mpumalanga.

Visitors reach the viewing platform via a cement pathway with steps from the parking area, where local vendors sell crafts at curio stalls.

The falls support specific wildlife including the Northern Crag Lizard and Cape dwarf gecko that inhabit the surrounding rocky environment.
