Marangu, meaning “a place with many water streams,” is a picturesque village in Moshi renowned for its natural beauty and cultural significance. Nestled on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, Marangu serves as a gateway for trekkers taking the popular Marangu Route to the mountain’s summit.

This charming village is also home to three breathtaking waterfalls—Ndoro, Kinukamori, and Kilasia—each offering a serene escape into nature. Ndoro Waterfalls, with its towering cascade, invites visitors to hike through lush landscapes and cool off in its refreshing waters. Kinukamori Waterfalls is easily accessible and known for its beautiful surrounding forest, while Kilasia Waterfalls, often less crowded, offers a tranquil spot for those seeking a quieter experience.

Beyond its role in Kilimanjaro treks, Marangu offers a blend of cultural heritage, vibrant local life, and the stunning natural beauty of its many water streams, making it a must-visit for both adventurers and those looking to explore Tanzania’s rich landscapes.
