Under the largest waterfall in the world

View of the Table Mountains

From the viewpoint at the waterfall there is also a nice view over the valley and the forest to other table mountains. The game of clouds is really wonderful here.

From the viewpoint you can see another destination of this trip, a smaller waterfall with a beautiful swimming lagoon. Unlike Angel's squirrel, everywhere else it would be a big tourist attraction.
