A visit to Howick is not complete without attempting the Karkloof Canopy Tour and seeing Howick Falls.
Also known as KwaNogqaza ("place of the tall one"), the 95m waterfall is regarded by Zulus as the place of the spirit of the ancestors. The Gorge Walk offers some of the most spectacular views of the falls. Midmar Dam can also be found nearby. The dam hosts the annual Midmar Mile, the world's largest open-water swimming event.
