Kadishi Tufa Waterfall
Kadishi Tufa Waterfall
Kadishi Tufa Waterfall is one of the natural highlights of the Blyde River Canyon in Mpumalanga, South Africa.
Plunging approximately 200 metres from its limestone shelf down to the waters of Blydepoort Dam, it is considered the second tallest tufa waterfall in the world.
Living tufa waterfalls are exceptionally rare globally, forming when water flowing over dolomite rock absorbs calcium and deposits rock at a rate faster than erosion removes it.
The resulting formation at Kadishi strikingly resembles a weeping face, earning it the nickname "the weeping face of nature." The waterfall sits tucked at the far end of Blyde Dam and is best reached by boat.
Guided dam cruises travel out to view the falls while passing through scenery shared with kudu, duiker, hippos, crocodiles, African fish eagles, and the elusive African finfoot.
Despite the canyon's many celebrated landmarks, Kadishi often goes underappreciated, overshadowed by the broader grandeur of the Blyde River Canyon itself.
