South Africa’s Hidden Gems: Duiwelsbos Waterfall Walk

Take a hike with us to a hidden gem in Swellendam – where the forests are coloured an intense green and the waterfalls rush softly. 

Marloth Nature Reserve is a hiker’s dream – with trails that range from easy to strenuous. But the true beauty lies in the indigenous forest that will make you believe you’re lost in the wilderness in the heart of Bali.

Duiwelsbos Waterfall Hike is a short one kilometre walk that leads to a gushing waterfall and a magnificent rock pool to swim in. 

It is a one way route in and out – and a steep climb – but the sound of the birds cooing and the water trickling all around you makes it a trail worth exploring again and again.

Location: Swellendam, Western Cape
