Kamarang Great Falls, also known as Kamarang Meru, is located on the Kamarang River in southwestern Guyana.

The falls plunge off the Pacaraima Mountains escarpment in an isolated western corner of Guyana only few kilometers from the Venezuelan border. Its height is 145 meters. By its volume Kamarang Great Falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the country.

The falls were reportedly discovered in 1938 by American entomologist and physician Paul A. Zahl, who wrote that the noise created by the falling water was deafening already before the falls were visible.
