Discover the Majestic Esiweni Waterfalls

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, start from the main entrance of Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park. Head south towards the R618 road. After approximately 10 km, turn right onto the R22. Continue for about 15 km until you reach the town of Hluhluwe. From there, take the N2 highway south for about 30 km. Look for signs directing you to Esiweni. Follow the signs for another 10 km until you reach Esiweni waterfalls. Ensure your vehicle is suitable for dirt roads as the final stretch may require it.

• Public Transportation

  If you are using public transportation, you will first need to take a taxi or bus from your accommodation in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park to the town of Hluhluwe. From Hluhluwe, catch a bus to the nearest city to the waterfalls. This may involve a transfer, so check local schedules. After reaching the bus stop closest to the N2 highway, you may need to negotiate with local taxi drivers to take you to Esiweni waterfalls as public transport options may not go directly to the site. Be prepared for a fare of approximately R150-R200 for the taxi ride.

• Walking

  For the adventurous traveler, if you are already near the waterfalls, walking from the nearest entry point into the park is an option. However, this is only recommended for those familiar with the terrain and comfortable with hiking. Make sure to carry enough water and wear appropriate footwear. The hike can take several hours, depending on your starting point and pace.
