What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lone Creek Falls is appreciated for its beautiful 70-meter cascade and convenient facilities like picnic areas. However, some visitors find the experience to be quite short and less immersive compared to nearby attractions, with the rough access road being a notable point of discussion. +1
"Lone creek Falls have forever been a part of my Sabie experience and will continue going forward, Its great to see the are being looked after, managed and cleaned.
the additional facilities to braai and have a picnic, but should be managed accordingly as you are in nature and theres no need for cars to be blearing music that you can hear over the waterfall at the waterfall which was slighly dissapointing considering its quite a pricey entry fee to visit the waterfall at R75 per person as a south african resident which the gate keeper wouldnt take no for an answer as the published Prices are R36 at the more expensive end and he stated out ID and or Drivers license was not valid to get the SADC rates"
