Kgaswane Nature Reserve is highly praised for its magnificent mountain scenery and refreshing natural atmosphere. Reviewers frequently highlight the beauty of the waterfalls, though they caution that the hike back up requires a good level of physical fitness. The reserve is a popular spot for both camping and day outings, with visitors specifically noting the clean toilet and shower facilities and well-kept braai areas. Many appreciate the lack of cell coverage, describing it as a perfect place to relax and disconnect. While wildlife sightings like antelope and butterflies are common, some guests mentioned frustrations regarding the lack of available maps at the entrance. Despite the entrance fee being noted as high by some, the consensus is that the stunning views and quality facilities make it a rewarding visit.
