Trekking to Engare Sero Waterfalls: An Oasis Near Lake Natron

This Januz Safaris guide is written to help travelers plan a better Tanzania safari, understand destinations and wildlife experiences, and choose the right route, season, package, or custom itinerary for their journey.

The Engare Sero Waterfalls are a lush, freshwater sanctuary located in a narrow gorge near the caustic shores of Lake Natron. The trek to the falls involves wading through the river and navigating volcanic rock, culminating in stunning cascades and swimmable pools. Nearby, the Engare Sero Hominid Footprints—the largest collection of its kind in Africa—offer a rare, 19,000-year-old snapshot of ancient human life in the Rift Valley.
