Getting There

Walking
Start from the center of Bukoba, near the main market. Head north on Sokoine Road until you reach the intersection with Uhuru Road. Turn left onto Uhuru Road and continue for about 500 meters until you reach the bus station. From the bus station, look for a local daladala heading towards Maruku. Ensure you confirm with the driver that they stop at Maruku. The ride will take approximately 30 minutes. Once you arrive in Maruku, ask locals for directions to the Kyamunene caves and waterfalls, as it is a short walk from the main road. Follow the signs or ask for 'Kyamunene' to ensure you are on the right path.

Bicycle
Rent a bicycle from a local shop in Bukoba. Start your journey by cycling north along Sokoine Road. After about 2 kilometers, turn left onto Uhuru Road and continue for another 2 kilometers until you reach the bus station. From there, take the same route as if you were walking—board a daladala to Maruku. Once you reach Maruku, park your bicycle safely and ask locals for the direction to the Kyamunene caves and waterfalls. It’s a short walk from the main road.
