Hike to Choma Waterfalls, located in the Uluguru Mountains, near Mikumi National Park above the town of Morogoro, is one of the most popular hikes in the mountain range. It was a refreshing escape from dusty town into lush greenery, to cascading waters and serene pools. The waterfall is located at 1,200 meters above sea level. The local community charges 5,000 TZS to enter, and they also sell small refreshments, drinks, and fruits at stalls around the entrance.
We organised a hike with a local guide (50,000 TZS), who brought us to the starting point on his motorbike early in the morning. We started our walk at the Rock Garden Bar at an elevation of 509 meters and hiked for around one and a half hours to the Choma waterfalls at 1200 meters. The whole hike was around 4.5 kilometres long. It’s a bit of a slippery path, so the way down took us two hours.
