Waterfalls in Tanzania: the ones you can visit in a day
42 tours, all in the Kilimanjaro foothills, from under 30 to more than 250 EUR, typically 60 to 120 EUR. Sanje, Kalambo and the other falls need a trek and have no day tour here.
Every one of the 42 Tanzania waterfall tours in our catalog starts in the Kilimanjaro foothills. Forty go to Materuni, two to the Ndoro falls near Marangu, and the typical day costs 60 to 120 EUR for about eight hours, with hotel pickup and, in most listings, lunch. That is the whole bookable supply of waterfalls in Tanzania, which is an odd thing to write about a country that also has Sanje, Kalambo and several other falls. This page sorts the ones you can book from the ones you reach on foot, over a bad road or not at all, and says when the rains change the answer. The Materuni page takes over from here. Whether the day is worth the money depends on what you want from it, and the numbers below say what 42 listings cost and how long they run.
A note on the numbers. They describe the 42 tours we read on 22 October 2026. One operator, Safari Soles Tours, holds 36% of all the reviews (890 of 2,498), so the 4.97 rating is partly its rating. The two Marangu tours are the only ones outside Materuni, one in the 60 to 120 EUR band and one above 250 EUR. Prices are the ones the providers publish, per person on every tour: none of the 34 private tours quotes one price for the whole group, so two listings compare directly.
