Morocco’s Ouzoud Falls: North Africa’s Tallest Waterfall Draws Tourists to Atlas Mountains

At a height of 110 meters, the Ouzoud Falls are the largest and most impressive in North Africa. They are located in the province of Tanghmeilt, 150 kilometers from Marrakech, at an altitude of 1,060 meters in the High Atlas massif. The name "Ouzoud", which means "eating olives", was given to the falls and the river because of the olive grove that surrounds this natural wonder that plunges into a lagoon where it is possible to swim.

The Kalandula Falls in Angola, with its 105 meters in height, is also one of the largest in Africa. The months of September and May, marking the major rainy season, are favorable for visiting these falls and appreciating their full splendor. At 979 meters high, the Salto Ángel, located in the Canaima National Park in Venezuela, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994, is also among the most impressive waterfalls in the world.

The same goes for the Tugela Falls, located in the Royal Natal National Park in South Africa. They offer a magnificent view at sunset. With its 947 meters in height, it is the second highest waterfall in the world. We can also mention the Yosemite Falls, with a height of 739 meters.
