The best waterfalls in Okere Falls

Tutea Falls: Standing Beside the World's Highest Rafted Waterfall

I lost count of the steps on the way down somewhere past forty. Didn't matter, because by then I could already hear it through the trees before I saw a thing. Then the track opened out onto a platform and there it was, seven metres of white water going straight down, close enough that the spray hit the rail I was leaning on.

No photo had prepared me for it. I'd looked at plenty before the trip, and not one of them got across how loud the place actually is, or that cold, restless mist that hits your skin before you even register it's there. You're standing there, water roaring below, having to raise your voice to talk to the person next to you, and you just feel small next to it. This isn't some quiet waterfall you snap a photo of and wander off from. It's got a bit of a temper.
