'''Tugela Falls''' is a complex of seasonal [[waterfall]]s located in the [[Drakensberg]] (''Dragon's Mountains'') of [[Royal Natal National Park]] in [[KwaZulu-Natal]] Province, Republic of [[South Africa]]. It is generally accepted as the world's [[List of waterfalls by height|second-tallest]] waterfall<ref name=worldwaterfalldatabase>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldwaterfalldatabase.com/tallest-waterfalls/total-height/ |title=World's tallest waterfalls by total overall height| publisher=World Waterfall Database }}</ref> but there is an argument that it is actually the tallest waterfall in the world, rather than Venezuela's [[Angel Falls]].
The combined total drop of its five distinct free-leaping falls is 948 m. In 2016, however, a Czech scientific expedition took new measuments, making the falls 983 m tall. The data were sent to the World Waterfall Database for confirmation.<ref>http://www.praguemonitor.com/2016/12/13/czech-surveyors-tugela-not-angel-worlds-tallest-waterfall</ref><ref>[https://zpravy.aktualne.cz/domaci/k-novemu-nejvyssimu-vodopadu-na-svete-se-splha-a-brodi-atrak/r~7b14d902cc3511e6a8cb002590604f2e/?_ga=1.206758867.1583613805.1466620372 K novému nejvyššímu vodopádu na světě se šplhá a brodí.
