Waterfall hike

Mark Wagner

Two weekends ago (somehow I’m very behind again) I went on a hike to a waterfall a few miles from Arusha.

The guide’s name is Moses; he’s a local young man who is studying to get a college certification in guiding. I’d say he’s already pretty good. My co-hikers were Kyle and Allison, a Canadian couple. Kyle is studying law at McGill and has been an intern with me this summer at the ICTR. Allison is finishing up a development project in Kenya. She’s been there for several months and will now also be studying at McGill.

The hike is a climb over several big hills to Moses’ home village. Then you go down into a lush river valley and wade up the river, past several small waterfalls, to the one really big one at the end. It’s about 150 feet high and quite pretty.

I was smart enough to take lots of pictures, so I’ll let them and the captions tell the rest of the story.

  1. This hike looked so awesome! I wish I could’ve been there. The views were so reminiscent of our time in Uganda.

    Love,
