Thanks for sharing.

I was last there in 89 wearing a brown suit and traveling in a 6x6.

The South of Angola is expecting some heavy rains in the next two weeks, so too the north of Namibia.

I'll see if I can go back in two weeks time to take a few more pics - I reckon the falls would be 20-30% greater then.

Heavy rains turn these waterfalls to torrents
... even the little spruit at Joburg Botanics ...

Chas, I live near the Walter Sisulu Botamical Gardens.

We recieved 136mm in 24 hours.
That's when that video of the waterfall was taken.

Probably gets that much water 2 or 3 times a decade....

... what amazes me is that this feeding ‘spruit’
only starts from a spring about 3km upstream
... as far as I can see from google maps ...

( think its source of Croc River ... ? )

... I’ve got a L-Rover ... so ...
I can go and check sometime ...
