A hidden gem not far from Rakiraki town is Savulelele Waterfall, tucked deep within lush forest and accessible through a short hike. This spot felt like discovering a secret. With the sound of rushing water and birdsong echoing through the canopy, I reached a cool, cascading waterfall surrounded by moss-covered rocks and vibrant green foliage. I was the only one there. I swam in the fresh water, cooled down under the falls, and just listened to the quiet. It was nature at its most raw and beautiful.
