Tugela Waterfall is located in the Royal Natal National Park. It is the second largest waterfall in the world according to Wikipedia has 948m. Before you get to the parking lot from where the ascent begins, it is necessary to pay a fee for entering the park and go by car along a narrow and in some places very broken road. The road is more suitable for SUVs, but we also put it on a car with a rental company. Upon arrival at the parking lot, it is still necessary to pay for parking and exit (at least that's how we understood it). The ascent itself is relatively easy for experienced tourists. According to what we read before, there are several roads leading to the waterfall. We chose a path where, after an hour and a half of serpentine paths, we reached a vertical wall where there were metal ladders. After climbing the ladder, we got to the top, after which we walked for about 1 km, until we got to the place where the slope of the waterfall. To our bad luck, the way up, but especially up, was quite a brutal fog, so we didn't see much of Tuleg's waterfall itself. On the way up, the African Gods gave us some nice views as the fog shattered. In the description, I wrote that the journey takes 3 hours, but certainly in better weather and more capable individuals will give it in 2 hours.
