About This Destination
A series of four dramatic waterfalls tumbling through lush forest, one of Burundi's most beautiful natural sites.
The Karera Waterfalls are a set of four cascades hidden within a protected reserve in Rutana Province. Fed by mountain streams, they plunge over mossy rock faces into cool, green pools.
Shaded walking trails connect the falls, winding through gallery forest alive with birdsong — an ideal spot for nature lovers and photographers alike.
