Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

Materuni, home to the Chagga tribe, remains an authentic and traditional village, located just 15 km from Moshi Town. It is the last settlement before entering Kilimanjaro National Park.

Your journey begins with a visit to the stunning Materuni Waterfalls, about a 40-minute walk from the village. The trail can be slippery and muddy, so sturdy hiking boots are recommended. Along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking views, and on a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of Mount Kilimanjaro’s majestic summit. The waterfalls, standing over 80 meters high, cascade into a refreshing pool at the base—perfect for a quick swim, so remember to bring your swimwear!

After taking in the beauty of the falls, you’ll head back to Materuni village with your guide to enjoy a delicious traditional Chagga lunch. You’ll also have the chance to try the famous local banana beer—a unique treat you won’t want to miss!

Pro Tip: The Chagga people are renowned for their exceptional brewing skills.

But that’s just the beginning. Next, you’ll take part in an engaging coffee experience. You’ll learn about the entire process of coffee production, from cultivation and drying to roasting and preparation. You’ll even have the chance to join in the traditional grinding process, accompanied by lively Chagga songs and dances—a fantastic way to connect with the local culture. Before your visit comes to an end, you’ll enjoy the coffee you helped prepare while soaking in the stunning views of the surrounding rainforest.
