Mkuzu Waterfalls tour

Overview

Romantic small waterfalls within a natural rainforest!

Walk to the Mkuzu waterfalls from the main town of Lushoto leading through the so called “Jaegersthal” a living and farming area bordering the natural forest- which is a colonial German heritage (translated “hunting valley”). On the way you will get many impressions about rural life and farming in Lushoto while passing through fields and farmland before entering the Nature Reserve of Magamba-Shume. The Magamba Rainforest will provide you with the opportunity to see monkeys, squirrels and other animals. Take the chance to learn more about endemic plants of Usambara as well as medicinal plants and their traditional use!

After reaching the local village of Magamba you will continue walking through some other small villages, through native and re-planted forests until you finally arrive at the waterfalls of Mkuzu.

Situated within the Magamba-Shume-Nature-Reserve as well you will have a wonderful break at the waterfalls – having picnic lunch while listening to the charming noises of nature.

On the way back to Lushoto Town public or private transport can be arranged.
