Garnett your videos are another level. Watching this in 2023, october. The music blends beautifully. And i like your brief stops to talk to us. Just marvelous, thank you. I miss the Cape always, but never ventured much farther out. Blessings. 👌🩵🌱💙
Incredible intro shots Garnett! Beautiful adventure and video, the scenery looks stunning! I would love to go there myself one day and shoot a solo hike, Tugela Falls is definitely on my list now. Thank you very much for inspiring.
brother this makes me so happy to see someone recorded such an amazing journey up there i did it when i was 12 with my Voortrekkers group , i live in New Zealand now for a long time and this brought back so many memories, by any chance was there a old military hut up there near the water fall still ?
Thank you so much for your video! Brings back great memories. I have camped there a couple of times and unfortunately woke up one morning with tent cut in one corner and my boots were gone and one of the other campers hiking bags missing too, with car keys and mobile phones in the bags!
Oh no, that sounds like a scary experience. I have to admit that when we went up we were one massive group so I’m guessing that’s why it felt safe. Truly a beautiful place.
@@garnettsnyman it is truly beautiful and that didn't put us off! We also hiked the mountains near little Switzerland, we were watching White-backed vultures from the top of the peaks. The Vultures nest on the walls/face of mountains and just glid out! That was awesome to watch
@@garnettsnyman Hi, I have a Google image that I want to attach to show you where it all took place! Not sure how to attach the image? Little Switzerland is a resort south of Sterkfontein dam and the peaks we were on are between the dam and the resort
Hi there! We are going to do the hike and thought maybe perhaps you know someone who could guide us? And thank you so much for the video, it is amazing! Great job done
Hi, thanks for the comment, if you are on instagram, this guy is one of the guides that do this route very often: here is a link to him: instagram.com/patricks_adventure_travels?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
Awesome video... you captured everything. I love that place, keep on going back every time. Would have liked to see more of the gully... went down there several times but never get an actual idea what it looks like from the drome footage it is visible. Kudos my friend you are an excellent content creator... what program do you use for your video edits? Goodness and favor on your journey!
Thanks for the great comment, to be honest I was so tired af the gully, I had no energy to film better content 😂, the program is final cut pro and thanks for support.
May I recommend an original song written about the mountain wilderness ? DON'T GO UP TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP WITHOUT ME (C)2006 from james monahan original songs.
The Gulley is the only other route I know up except for the chain ladder, so it will have to do, it’s ridiculously tough, because of how steep it is 😁 but I’ve seen many people go up there. I think the less you have to carry the easier it would be
Thanks Adrian, I think it is a popular discussion seeing that there were explorers that re-measured it and saw it was actually higher than Angel falls, coming in at 983m. Although it is super difficult to estimate height seeing the last drop of Tugela is really difficult to get to. Here is an article: www.google.com/amp/s/www.thesouthafrican.com/lifestyle/environment/tugela-falls-angel-falls-highest-waterfall-world-latest-data/amp
The best would be is to stay by witsieshoek lodge and then arrange with them to shuttle your team up to the mountain and start hiking from there. I know a guide that takes people up to the mountain very often if you are interested in using a guide service 😁. At the end of the day you just need some gear which you can also hire, like tent and hiking bag. Thanks for the great comment and support ☺️.
It’s unofficially the tallest waterfall but according to the Czech research team it is the tallest, where Angel falls still hold the record for tallest single drop for a waterfall. So it’s 50-50 😂
Tugela is the tallest waterfall in the world. Angel is the tallest UNINTERRUPTED waterfall in the world. You need to catch up with your information. Very recently, this has been verified on world waterfall database!!
Hi, I did check and it seems that for the chain ladders there were no requirements, I know that SANParks are the only ones currently requiring a permit or authorization but it's always helpful to ask the park beforehand and fly within the laws :)
