About this experience

Discover a stunning waterfall at the end of a beautiful hike through nature, on the slopes of Mount Meru, guided by the Kingstone Asilia Family.

We begin with a drive through peaceful, rural Tanzanian village roads, then begin our hike down through lush rainforest to the river bed, enjoying a spectacular view of the valley on the way. Fully immersed in nature, we will follow the river along the stony valley floor, crossing streams, marvelling at mossy rock formations, and the tropical wildlife.

Then we will reach the majestic Napuru waterfalls, a powerful force of nature cascading down 78m to a natural pool below. You can go for a swim, or if you’re brave enough, you can even climb up to stand beneath the waterfall for the perfect photo. We'll take some time to chill here at the waterfall, and enjoy the beauty that Tanzania has to offer. For the coffee addicts, the Kingstone Asilia guides will have you sorted, serving home-grown coffee from our own family plantation.
