Mount Meru Waterfalls

Enjoy breathtaking views through the forest, where you will then follow the riverbed up to the waterfalls. This beautiful walk offers two different options – (an easy 2hr walk round trip or a more intensive 4hr hike one way).

For the shorter option-2hours round trip walk, your adventure starts at the forest reserve gate where you begin to walk into the Napuru Forest. Here you will be picked up from your hotel and drive to the main gate. You will be introduced to a wide range of birdlife and will often see vervet monkeys and occasionally blue monkeys with your nature walk guide who mostly are locals.

The 4hrs hike, one way starts at Sanawari where you we normally park our car at Mount Meru hotel which will be our ending point. We take a Tuk Tuk to a starting point at Sanawari and here you walk through a local village up to Napuru Hill where you can get a stunning view of Arusha City.

Your hike then takes you down to the Napuru Pine Tree Farm and up to the waterfall. This is an intense walk with steep inclines and requires a good level of fitness, wear good hiking shoes, hiking poles, some areas are very steep and slippery.
