Karera Waterfalls, located near Rutana, consists of four stunning cascades, with Nyakai I being the most scenic, where visitors typically park. Upstream, the smaller Nyakai II offers a refreshing spot for a natural shower. These waterfalls are fed by the Mwaro Falls, converging to form the towering Karera Falls, the tallest in the area. The falls are particularly impressive during the wet season, from October to January. Situated 64 kilometers south of Gitega, Karera Waterfalls is accessible by chartered vehicle from Bujumbura, as there is no public transport to the site.

    Lovely sites, the water is pretty cool even in dry season. It's much of a beaut in the rainy season. It's one of my fav waterfalls Cons Quite a distance from Bujumbara , about 4-5 hours. I recommend you leave fairly early to spend a good time here before heading back

    A beautiful place with a lot to see. I had a guide who gave a lot of valuable information. A toilet is there, but I did not use it. It was a wonderful experience, also to cross the bridge.

    Beautiful and well kept attraction. Lovely waterfalls, trails, and suspension bridge. You can bring your swimsuit and go underneath the waterfall.

    It's a long and dusty journey from Bujumbura you should be prepared for that.. And if you can get private transport there I'd recommend that as well, public transport in Bujumbura is just too hectic. Otherwise it's a great sight with some really friendly guides
