Waterfall Travels · WATERFALL HIKES IN TANZANIA
The 4 waterfall hikes in Tanzania below are the ones that hold up on the day: what you pay, how long the transfer really takes, and whether you end up in the water or looking at it.
You spend five days on Tanzania’s northern safari circuit, with two Serengeti days, Tarangire elephants, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara. A final day brings a hike to Materuni Waterfalls and a Chagga coffee experience. Groups use a pop-up-roof jeep, with a driver-guide and cook, and are limited to six or seven people.
Leave your Arusha hotel with a local English or Swahili-speaking guide such as Frank or Uhuru. Walk through villages, past cattle and monkeys, then follow a river through Mount Meru Forest Reserve to Napuru Waterfalls. The three-hour hike includes rocks, shallow water, local snacks, and a small-group setting of up to four people.
“We really enjoyed our trip to the Napuru waterfalls. Our guide Fred picked us up in time from the hotel. Explaining us many things on our way already. The hike to the waterfalls was beautiful but when we arrived at the waterfall itself was amazing. Just can recommend this tour! Thank u Fred :)”
Spend a day near Morogoro walking village paths into the Uluguru Mountains. Your guide, including Tony when assigned, can take you to Choma Waterfalls or toward Lupanga Peak at 2,150 meters. Expect a private, customizable outing with bottled water and the environmental charge included. Hotel pickup is optional.
“Tony was an excellent guide! We had an amazing experience in Uluguru montains and Choma waterfalls from Morogoro.”
Spend 9 to 10 hours exploring Materuni Village and Chemka Hot Springs by private tuk tuk. Hike through coffee and banana farms to an 80-meter waterfall, roast Arabica beans with local farmers, eat a traditional Chagga lunch, and swim in warm turquoise pools. Guides including Hashimu and Felix have led this experience.
Pick a country, a named drop or a way in.
