Abseiling Adventure

Descend a cliff or waterfall on a rope — a guided abseiling thrill near Arusha and the northern crags, no experience required.

Experience Guide

Abseiling — descending a vertical rock face or waterfall on a controlled rope — is a pure adrenaline rush, and guided sessions near Arusha make it accessible to anyone with a head for heights. After thorough safety instruction, you back over the edge under the watch of qualified instructors and lower yourself down the cliff, in full control the whole way.

It’s a short, exhilarating activity that pairs well with rock climbing or a waterfall hike, and a memorable way to test your nerve against a dramatic backdrop. All technical gear is provided; you bring the courage.
