The 2nd Highest Waterfall in the World is Actually Photo-Shopped

In April, I went on my first hike in the Drakensburg Mountains.  We chose the Tugela Gorge Hike, hoping to see the famous Amphitheatre and the 2^nd highest waterfall in the world, Tugela Falls (nearly 1000 m high).  My companions and I pushed on, always keeping an eye on the Amphitheatre, waiting and waiting to see the waterfall.  Finally, we discouragingly had to admit to ourselves that Tugela Falls was dry and no matter how close we got, we would not be seeing the falls that day.  In May, we returned to the Drakensburgs to camp.  Going on a different hike, we climbed the summit a valley over from Tugela Gorge. Still no falls.  Last month, we drove around to the back side of the Amphitheatre, where you can hike to the top of the falls.  As we were approaching, the weather took a turn for the worse and we were forced to turn around. Foiled, yet again.  This weekend we went on another camping trip, optimistic that the falls would be full with snow melt and recent rains.  We set out on the familiar Gorge Hike. We hiked to the look-out point and looked into billowy low-hanging clouds that covered the Amphitheatre…and Tugela Falls.  With four attempts and no sightings, I have to conclude that Tugela Falls doesn’t exist; the 2^nd highest waterfall in the world is actually photo-shopped.
