Caving/Caves

Tanzania is home to several fascinating caves, offering adventure and a glimpse into ancient history. The Amboni Caves near Tanga are the most famous, formed about 150 million years ago. These limestone caves are filled with impressive rock formations and local legends. In the Kilimanjaro region, the Chagga Caves near Moshi show the underground tunnels once used by the Chagga people for protection during tribal wars.

In the Lake Eyasi area, natural caves and rock shelters with ancient rock paintings can be found, left behind by early hunter-gatherer communities. Exploring Tanzania’s caves combines nature, culture, and a sense of discovery, making it a great addition to any adventure.
