Sanje Waterfalls-Udzungwa
Sanje Waterfall is a spectacular 180m plunge over the Udzungwa escarpment into the Kilombero floodplain. The panoramic view from the top allows you to see the vast Kilombero floodplain and the Selous.
Further up river from the main falls are two other falls of 30m and 40m respectivly. All three plunge pools are excellent for swimming and cooling off from the hot climb.
The climb up passes from Miombo woodland to submontain forest and the endemic Iringa Red Colobus monkeys are usually seen. The endemic Sanje Crested Mangebey can be seen at the top, with black and White Colobus and Blue Monkeys. This is a very good location for primate viewing.
Kalambo Falls
Kalambo Falls is a 772ft (235m) single drop waterfall on the border of Zambia and Tanzania at the southeast end of Lake Tanganyika. The falls are the second-highest uninterrupted falls in Africa (after South Africa's Tugela Falls).
Archaeologically, Kalambo Falls is one of the most important sites in Africa. It has produced a sequence of past human activity stretching over more than two hundred and fifty thousand years. It was first excavated in 1953 by John Desmond Clark who recognised archaeological activity around a small basin lake behind the falls.
Late Acheulian stone tools, hearths and well preserved organic objects were found there including a wooden club and digging sticks and evidence of fruit consumption.
