Detailed itinerary

On the day of your tour, we'll pick you up from your hotel at 7:30 am and set off on the 2 hours drive to the village of Materuni, located in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, we'll embark on a hiking route to the Materuni Waterfalls. The trail, which is around an hour long, will take us through lush green vegetation and past the houses of the Chagga people who live here, one of the largest ethnic groups in Tanzania. During your trek, your guide will tell you all about the Chaga way of life.

On reaching the waterfall, you'll be left speechless by the sheer size of the falls. The water cascading through the verdant jungle comes from the snows of Mount Kilimanjaro! You'll have the opportunity here to enjoy a refreshing dip in the natural pool below, or to further explore the area if you'd prefer.

Starting to feel hunger pangs? We'll take a break at midday to eat our picnic lunch, and then once we've restored our energy levels we'll walk over to a nearby coffee plantation to learn all about this delicious locally grown product. From the bean to the cup, we'll see how natural coffee is roasted, and of course - you'll get to taste it too!

Visit the Hot Springs and experience a very special natural phenomenon where hot water comes up. The water of this source is turquoise blue and crystal clear and invites you to take a refreshing dive.

The sanctuary is over 1000 acres, prepared in phases and in accordance with the needs of our animals 50 acres at a time. Animals are ethically obtained from zoos & injured animals from the wild with the aim of instilling natural behaviors and eventually rehabilitating them into the wild with the assistance of TAWA and TAWIRI.
