An unforgettable adventure: Culture, nature and stunning views! - Our tour guide, Andy, was absolutely brilliant! He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the entire experience both educational and fun. Andy taught us survival tips, like how to drink water from a baobab tree in an emergency, while also showing us how to do it without harming the tree. He also introduced us to a native bush that serves dual purposes: you can scrape the underside of its leaves to treat mosquito bites, and the locals use the leaves for cooking since they have a peppery flavour. One fascinating moment was when Andy showed us a flower, which I believe is called safflower, that native women traditionally crush to extract pigment. They use this pigment to decorate their “third eye” in a vibrant orange-red colour. It was incredible to see these cultural details brought to life. Along the way, we dipped our feet into a small crater pool on the rocks where tiny fish, known as doctor fish, nibbled at the dead skin on our feet. It was both hilarious and slightly gross—definitely a unique experience! Next, we embarked on a stunning 2-mile hike to see gorgeous waterfalls. If you’re planning this trip, I highly recommend bringing water shoes to navigate the slippery areas where you can swim. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any, and it was quite tricky. A lightweight shammy towel and a small backpack are also great to bring along for convenience. Don’t forget your camera or phone—the scenery is breathtaking and well worth capturing. We took breaks to enjoy local snacks, including a delicious cheese samosa and, later, a picnic of fresh pineapple and roti filled with beans or a similar tasty filling. It was simple yet hit the spot perfectly after all the activity. The climb back up to the starting point is a bit steep—about 10 minutes—so make sure you’re reasonably fit for it. On our way up, we were lucky enough to spot a native macaque monkey lounging in a tree, which was an unforgettable highlight of the day! Overall, this was an amazing adventure filled with cultural insights, stunning views, and memorable experiences. I can’t recommend this tour enough! My only regret is I didn’t have any MUR on me to tip him as a way to say thank you! I think he works very hard and everyone should remember to bring a little something to say thank you!

Atmosphere was amazing, we got the chance to swim under the waterfall and saw the most beautiful sights we will never forget. Bonus points for the photos and videos they take of you, influencer worthy so your followers will be impressed ;) overall amazing experience and we would definitely recommend this tour and these tourguides.

Not to be missed - Motrek and especially Freddy and Jeez were fantastic guides. They put us at ease immediately with their humour and singing! We were issued brand new equipment for the day and everything was explained clearly. The trek itself was immense! The abseiling and cliff jumping are definitely not to be missed and we could see all the other people watching us with jealousy as we went down the waterfalls. Could not recommend highly enough, a fantastic day.

Spicy hike beautiful hike - Was a nice trip to do! we had a nice guide Andy. He introduced us to plants and other things around the falls. Was helpful, friendly, answered all our questions. It was a tough walk, regularly with hands and feet, but very rewarding. Our guide also gave us the space to determine the rhythm of the walk. Very pleasant. The food on the way we got was also very tasty. Kudos to Andy.

All 7 waterfalls is for the die-hards, the first 5 are beautiful enough! - Absolutely recommended to do the small round along the first 5 waterfalls. It takes a while to find the starting point (go past the bus station for another 2 km) but with a walking app (I used all trails) you can find this. With us were Guide and not very intrusive (just ignore) and the walk is good without guide to do. Make sure you have sturdy shoes with good grip, because it is climbing and descending (with us it was dry). The reward is great, beautiful waterfalls and beautiful views! By mistake we walked the big round (all 7 waterfalls) but that is not worth the effort. The path is getting harder and harder and you have already had the best view. This round lasted more than 4 hours and is tough. Main advice: apply mosquito repellent several times;-)

Not quite the challenge we had expected - Not quite the trek we were expecting. Obviously weather has a big part in how good a waterfall is and as such, the water level was low so the whole trip was a little underwhelming for us.
