Mac Mac Falls and Mac Mac Pools are definately not worth seeing for the price. The falls are nice but not for the amount of tourist there and the R10 per person charged.

At Least Do This: The consolation to coming here (maybe not so for some) are the nice curious sold here. This is one of the best places in the region for buying local crafts at a cheap price.
Alternative: Try Lisbon Falls on R532 north of Graskop or even Berlin Falls in the same direction. Lisbon Falls is 10 times nicer and free.

ludogatto Thu Feb 26, 2009 20:48 UTC perfect tips on the fall price and the ...local market!	mvtouring Thu Sep 13, 2007 14:20 UTC Going there in 2 weeks time, cannot wait ;-)
DesertRat Mon Sep 12, 2005 19:30 UTC Was at Mac Mac Falls in July 05. I do not remember paying R10 admission, and even if we did, that's no small fortune -- not even US$2.00. I do agree about the selection of handicrafts at the parking area. Excellent selection and even better prices.	ukirsari Thu Dec 9, 2004 18:53 UTC so nice and tranquil. thanks for beautiful virtual visiting in your page, John!!!! well, you'll like old malacca when you're there. just beware: pretty damn hot temperature :)
