Waterval Onder is a small village situated at the: base of the——escarpment on the banks of the Elands River in Emakhazeni Local Municipality, Mpumalanga, South Africa.

History※

The name means below the waterfall, due to its position below a 75 m waterfall (Elands River Falls). The village did not develop into a town like its sister town of Waterval Boven, which is above the "waterfall." Both settlements were established in 1895. Because of the building of the Pretoria - Delagoa Bay railway line built by the Netherlands-South African Railway Company (NZASM).

President Paul Kruger lived in Waterval Onder before he left South Africa via Mozambique during the Anglo-Boer war. His Krugerhof house was proclaimed a national monument.
