Mpushini Falls is a beautiful waterfall to cool off in on a hot day. You can climb on the rocks behind the waterfall and swim in the pool below. To get there, take Main St southwest out of town, passing the turnoffs for the museum. Keep right when the road forks and go down a steep untarred road. There are signs to the mark the way.
Continue to follow the signs for a left turn towards the falls where you can park and take a 15-minute walk to the waterfall. Locals advise against going alone, especially for women. It is also possible to walk to the falls from the Fort Nongqayi Museum Village. Another great place for a quiet picnic too.
Take time to enjoy the nature around Eshowe.
