Tugela Falls, located in the Drakensberg Mountains of Royal Natal National Park, is often cited as the world's second-highest waterfall. Reaching the falls typically involves a challenging hike or multi-day trek, so accessibility can be limited for those with mobility issues. While experienced hikers might tackle the trails solo, guided tours are recommended for safety and navigation, especially considering the unpredictable weather. The best time to visit is during the wetter summer months (November to March) when the falls are at their fullest, though this is also when hiking conditions can be more difficult. Expect to spend at least a full day or even several days if planning a multi-day hike in the area. Costs will primarily involve park entrance fees, transportation to the Drakensberg region, and potentially fees for guides or accommodation if opting for a longer visit. The hike to the base of the falls provides stunning views, making it a rewarding experience for adventurous travelers.
