Howick Falls is a spectacular waterfall in Howick, KwaZulu-Nata

Near the small town of Howick, 24kms north of Pietermaritzburg, the Umgeni river plunges 300ft over the Howick Falls. The Howick Falls were most likely first seen by European explorers in the early 1800s. Many people have been swept over the Howick Falls, especially in the pioneer days of the province, as some settlers thought the easiest place to cross the river was just above the water fall.
