More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the dusty road outside Morogoro and a steep path through village fields draws you uphill—banana terraces give way to mossed stones and, soon, a line of forest framing the skyline. The first day leads through Choma village to the waterfall; water dares you forward with a steady roar while the trail climbs to Morning Side, an old German-era house that now watches over the town below.
