Howick accommodation. The Howick Falls, in Howick outside of Pietermaritzburg, are of an equal height to the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe (95m). The falls are made more attractive by a well developed viewing platform and restaurant that overlook the spectacle. The Howick falls date back to when the Kwazulu Natal was first inhabited by man. In fact, this region is reputed to have been much the same for the last 30,000 years.
The Howick Falls on the Umgeni River may not rank amongst the tallest waterfalls in the world, but they are amongst the most notorious! The first death was recorded here in 1851 and there have been a further 40 deaths recorded here since then. Most of them were considered to be suicides, but Howick Falls has also seen its share of accidents and even historic murders.
