Semonkong

Once the secret hideout of outlaws, this remote, sprawling, village still has an untamed feeling to it. Semonkong means “Place of Smoke” and is so named because of the Maletsunyane Falls, the highest single-drop falls in southern Africa. The falls, about 5 kilometres south of Semonkong, are set in awesome surrounding cliffs with the water plummeting down a 192-meter drop. The falls can also be visited on a pony-trekking trail. There are also fantastic hiking and trout fishing opportunities in the area.
