Kalambo Falls. Dropping in a single free fall into the Kalambo Gorge on the Zambia-Tanzania border, this is Africa's second-highest single-drop waterfall, well over twice the height of Victoria Falls. The nearby archaeological site has yielded some of the oldest known wooden structures, dated to nearly 500,000 years old.

Rusumo Falls. Rusumo Falls is a waterfall located on the Kagera river on the border between Rwanda and Tanzania, part of the most distant headwaters of the river Nile. The falls are approximately 15 m high and 40 m wide and have formed on Precambrian schists and quartz–phyllites.

Soni Falls. The Soni Falls is a waterfall in the Usambara Mountains of northeastern Tanzania, near the village of Soni, to the northeast of Kitunda. The falls lie at the end of the Mkuzu River where it joins the Bangala River.
