Naihehe Cave Safari - An Experience Par Excellence - Adventurous Thrill
NorthStar34772140546,Apr 17, 2026

5.00Unique experience laced with kawa-filled adventurous excitement. The village ride in an enjoyable rough ride with off-roading experiences given by Moses was great. The most novelty moment of life was being appointed as a Chief and to lead the group for presenting the kawa plant root to the village Priest for conducting a ceremony to grant permission to visit the Naihehe Cave visiting. A great experience indeed to have undergone followed by formal introduction of each. Unfortunately we didn't videograph the whole event maybe as an oversight or as a measure of ample prevention to not upset the holiness of the ritual. The caves were not easy to manouvre for a person like me at 70 years since had to walk through water on a pebbled path. Also one of the 2 places there was needed to bend to go for a stretch of 7-10 metres which could not have been possible without the help of Palu. Thanks also to Tery for having guided the group all along the cave. Both these guides Tery & Palu deserve a big round of applause. After the cave adventure we were treated with home-made kawa by the Priest and delicious blend of fruits, food and kababs awaited us and for this Moses was the hosting host. All in all a great tour one must undertake. Only ensure u have rain shoes with thick soles to undertake the cave - walk.

5.00We enjoyed the Kava ceremony with the Chief . The women in sarongs . The kava drink was ok but gives a weird feeling. The caves were marvelous and its history intriguing however wear water shoes as your shoes will be soaked . The cave has water and stones . The guide was very emotional speaking about the history of her people then and now and that really touched me. Really enjoyed this tour .
Fantastic day trip

5.00We agreed to reschedule to allow the team to go to a funeral. They were very accommodating but it still ended up being a surprise when our tour turned out just being the two of us. We were extremely well looked after by driver Zac and guide Tia. We experienced a beautiful ceremony, saw a spectacular cave system and learnt a lot. Highly recommended.
Am amazing day

5.00We were lucky enough to have Saddam and Moses as our driver and guide. The experience was unbelievable with Saddam's knowledge of the area making the trip great. Saddam assured us about the entry to the cave and we crawled in through water and was met with a huge cave chamber. Moses cooked a great BBQ with local bread fruit which tasted fantastic. A great experience worth every effort to get there walking through ankle deep mud
off the beaten path experience!

5.00Very authentic experience! Tia our guide and Moses our driver brought us a wonderful experience in the caves. There were two full buses of tourists when we left the sign-in center, but we ended up having a private tour - only the two of us opted for the cave tour, rest went with exciting river jet experience. The drive from the river bank to the cave was a scenic one that pass through Moses' village and Tia explained local village lives to us. The cave has been kept in its original state - no lighting, no built walkway, etc - be prepared to walk in the water. at one point, I felt I was part of an Indiana Jones movie, trekking in underground waters to some hidden treasure. Lunch was simple, but very fresh, and I enjoyed the chat a lot!
Really amazing tour! It’s...
