Napuru waterfalls a beautiful waterfall on the slopes of Mount Meru, a few kilometres north of the city of Arusha. It is in the southwestern part of Arusha National Park. The area around the falls is quiet, except for some birds and monkeys. There are some nice photo spots that the guide will gladly point out to you. During the hike, you will pass through a series of small agricultural villages with lush landscapes where the locals plant corn and potatoes. Along the way, they sell various goods, such as coffee, corn, bananas, and other fruits and vegetables.

Frequently Asked Questions / Information / Guide / Activities
There are some Bureaus de Change in Arusha clustered around the Clock Tower, and some ATMs in the city centre. It is a good idea to stop by these before your safari to take out some notes. There are not many other options during the Northern Circuit and it is good to have cash to buy souvenirs or tip drivers and guides.
Arusha is relatively safe for tourists, but it is wise not to wear too much jewellery. The risk increases at night, and we do not recommend walking the streets after dark. But in general, the city is known for its welcoming atmosphere, and the people are very pleased to have such a thriving tourism economy, meaning the locals treat tourists well. We recommend that you travel the city by taxi since dala dalas (small minibuses) and bajajis (tuk-tuks) are more dangerous. A taxi ride across town should not cost more than $2.50.
On the one hand, you must visit Arusha on any trip to Tanzania – this is the starting point for some of Tanzania’s most famous sites, including Kilimanjaro, the Serengeti, and Ngorongoro Crater. So, should you stay more than one night in Arusha? There is certainly plenty to do in the town – from cultural programmes, to museums, to shopping to day trips – there is enough to spend at least two days. If you already have a full itinerary, including hiking, safaris, and beach work in Zanzibar, then perhaps it is best to only stay one night in one of Arusha’s attractive plantation guesthouses.
Arusha is known for being the safari capital of Tanzania, and a popular stopover for adventurers who are preparing for a Kilimanjaro trek.
No, you cannot see Kilimanjaro from Arusha. Mt Kilimanjaro is situated 82.6km away from Arusha.

Together with Jonas I walk up to the waterfall. Even if it is rainy season I would suggest to enjoy the trip, the place is amazing! People in Tanzania are very friendly, and Mama Joyce at the coffee plantation prepares such good dishes for lunch!!! And what else… Cannot not talk about the guys who teach you how to prepare coffee! So funny and kind! Asante Sana
