Karera Waterfalls

Karera Waterfalls, in Rutana Province, Burundi, is raw hydraulics: the kind of place you hear before you see. It makes a dramatic half-day between parks, and photographers should plan to get comfortably wet.

It sits within one of Africa's great travel countries — Burundi: East Africa's quiet corner. Most travelers weave Karera Waterfalls into a longer route taking in Lake Tanganyika, Kibira forest and Gishora drummers.

The operators on SafariSuite run Karera Waterfalls regularly and price it from their live rate sheets — park fees, seasonal lodge rates and transfers included — so any itinerary you see here reflects what the trip actually costs.
