Makalia Falls
Beste tid å besøke
The rainy season between November and May brings the strongest flow and the most satisfying roar. Mornings around 07.00 to 09.00 give the best chance of seeing wildlife come down to drink before the scorching heat.
Budsjettips
The entrance ticket is combined with the daily ticket of the national park that oversees this area, around US$60 per foreign adult per day. There is no separate ticket, so cover the entire waterfall route while enjoying every corner of the park in one payment.
Anbefalt for
Birdwatchers, Wildlife photographers, Trekking enthusiasts, Families with teenage children

Om
Raske fakta: Ferskvannet som faller herfra blandes med sodasjøen nedenfor, og den kjemiske blandingen dyrker alger som trekker hundretusenvis av flamingoer til bredden. Klippene rundt fossefallet ligger 1.754 meter over havet og er et fast drikkested for titalls svarte og hvite neshorn.
Høydepunkter: Vannmengden kan svulme opp og fylle hele klippekanten, flere titalls meter bred, etter en natt med kraftig regn, og brøler som en kjempe som nettopp har våknet. Tørketiden krymper den til et dusin tynne stråler som kan krysses uten å bli våt, mens solnedgangen forvandler dammen nedenfor til et oransje speil.
Insidertips
- Wear non-slip trekking shoes because the rocks around the falling water are slippery with moss and spray.
- Bring a telephoto lens of at least 200mm to observe birds perched on the cliff without having to get too close.
- Skip the lower pool at midday, as animals rarely drink at that hour and the water glare disrupts photography.
- Take a position on the southern edge of the waterfall to see the full cascade as well as the open field behind it.
