The Phophonyane Falls is a scenic 500ha nature reserve and tourist location near Piggs Peak, Swaziland. A network of footpaths through the Gobolondlo forest reaches meandering water courses which lead to the 80m high Phophonyane Falls. Here some of the oldest rocks in the world are exposed, dated at 3.55 billion years.
