The Inkanyamba is a legendary serpent said to be living in a waterfall lake area in the northern forests near Pietermaritzburg most commonly in the base of Howick Falls, South Africa . The Zulu people of the area believe it to be a large serpent with an equine head. It is a very tall creature. Most active in the summer months, it is believed that the Inkanyamba's anger causes the seasonal storms.[1][2]
The zulu people believed that when you make eye contact with the inkanyamba you might just loose a life. The creature does not like especially shinny things because it might think it water or a lake to live
