About this experience

Nestled in the patchwork foothills of magnificent Kilimanjaro lies the beautiful village of Materuni, home to our Chagga friends and famous for its aromatic, rich coffee. On this fragrant and fun day out you’ll hike the short but challenging route to the Materuni Falls and you can stand under the waters as they cascade into a tranquility pool that’s safe for bathing. And you’ll want to jump straight in – after getting sweaty (ok, glowing) from your hike, there’s nothing more soothing than floating in the cool waters from Kilimanjaro mountain.

On the way to/from the waterfalls you will get a chance to get in a local bar for Banana wine/beer testing.

Next you'll get a chance to make your own cup of coffee the proper way and you’ll find out the secret to the perfect cup of coffee from the local Chagga people. Enjoy your local hot lunch then we will say goodbye and start going back to Moshi town from this memorable experience !

Detailed itinerary

You will be picked up in Moshi or Your defined location in the morning, by our driver, who will drive you to Materuni Village. Upon arrival, you will register at the village office and your trip can begin. First you will visit the waterfalls, which are around a 35 minute walk away. On the way, your guide will inform you about the culture of the Chagga, village life and explain the surrounding fauna and flora. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for a refreshing swim so don‘t forget your swim wear! After having enjoyed the scenery, you slowly return with your guide to a traditional house where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. Next the coffee experience awaits you. Here you will learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted and further processed and you will make your own cup of coffee and drink. After that we start the drive back to your hotel in Moshi.
