Kisasa Waterfall & Irente Viewpoint

Begin from your hotel along quiet farm paths and through a stretch of planted forest, climbing toward the Kisasa Waterfall. Take the steep, careful descent to the base for a closer look — this is the tallest fall in the Lushoto area, around 75 metres of water against dark rock and palm.

From there, climb back up and follow the ridge across to the Irente viewpoint, with chameleon spotting and village conversations along the way. Lunch is served on the farm at the Irente Biodiversity Reserve, fifteen minutes from the cliff edge.
