(PLEASE NOTE: Pepsi Pools is currently inaccessible due to road closures.) With its dark brown, fizzy waters conjuring up images of this famous soft drink, it’s easy to see where this chocolate box swimming spot gets its name from. The little waterfall and rock pools are popular among hikers and mountain bikers and the perfect place to spend a lazy summer afternoon with the family. Park at the Nelson Mandela University and amble along the beautiful plantation trail.
