Known as the place of many waterfalls, owing to the many tributaries of the uMngeni River that tumble down gorges and over sharp inclines on their way to the Indian Ocean, Howick is possibly best known as the place where Nelson Mandela was arrested in August 1962 (see the Nelson Mandela Capture Site), and most visited because of the Howick falls.

The little village of Howick - a great place to find antiques, arts and crafts, and part of the Midlands Meander - was named after Earl Grey, the British Colonial Secretary who started in life as Viscount Howick. It remains fundamentally a farming town that supplies the number of farms in the area, and people pass through here on their way to the interior or Midmar Dam, just 7 kilometres away.

Howick Falls is a 100-metre cascade of water, practically in the centre of town. The falls were known by the Zulus as KwaNogqaza - a place of the tall one - and were first seen by European travellers on their way to trade from the coast in the early 19th century. You can arrange to abseil alongside the falls down the gorge and into the pool if you're in an adventurous frame of mind, and if not, there is a safer alternative from a viewing platform above the falls that is close to the car park.
