Itinerary description

The standard Route up to the magestic Algeria Waterfall. This route starts at the Algeria camp site and heads straight up to the kloof visible in the distance before zigzaging up to a higher altitude and approaching the falls. There are some very exposed cliffs on the last few meters to the falls but the path doesn't come to close to these drop offs. Be sure to take care if you explore around the falls. Generally easy but relentless sun exposure can make this trail a bit more difficult.
