What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors consistently praise Lisbon Falls for its breathtaking beauty and stunning natural scenery, highlighting the impressive 308-foot cascade and surrounding mountainous landscape. While the entrance fee is a minor point of discussion for some, most agree it's a small price for the spectacular views. The availability of local handicrafts adds a nice touch to the experience.
"B....E....A.....UUUUtiful falls. Nice and adequate parking. Do visit this place if you're in Panorama Route. The only thing I don't understand is the ticket for it. Although it's not much but i don't think it's necessary. Per person, it's R25 for SA nationals and R50 for foreigners. A local mentioned it used to be free just a few years ago. Anyway, even with the small fee, one must go. There are some local handicrafts/ souvenirs at the parking area.
The view point is nicley placed to have a full view of falls and the surroundings. The scenery around the falls make it even more beautiful."

"I prefer these falls than Berlin falls. They are beautiful and there are 3 waterfalls. The water is clear and you can see inside the river. Entrance R25 p.p if you are a South African citizen."
Carina Agenbag
"There is no trail. You pay R25 per person to the water fall from the top of the hill.
Should you choose to go beyond the fence and try the trail it is at your own risk."
