Detailed itinerary

Your journey begins in Moshi or Arusha with an early departure to Materuni Village, a charming Chagga community at the foot of Kilimanjaro. The day starts with a warm welcome and a coffee tour, where you spend 1.5 hours learning the art of coffee farming, roasting, and brewing, savoring a fresh cup made by your own hands. Energized, you embark on a waterfall hike, trekking for about two hours through lush banana and coffee plantations until the magnificent Materuni Waterfall comes into view, cascading into a cool natural pool perfect for photos or a refreshing swim. Back in the village, you immerse yourself in a cultural experience, enjoying traditional Chagga dances, songs, and a hearty local lunch prepared with fresh ingredients. To conclude, you spend an hour to relax and explore, strolling through the village, meeting locals, and browsing handmade souvenirs.

Your adventure begins in Moshi or Arusha, where you set off on a scenic drive through rural Tanzania, passing villages, farms, and towering baobab trees until you arrive at the enchanting Kikuletwa (Chemka) Hot Springs. After a brief orientation with your guide, the turquoise waters beckon you in. For the next two and a half hours, you swim, float, and unwind in the warm, crystal-clear pool, perhaps swinging from ropes tied to the trees or snorkeling to spot tiny fish darting beneath the surface. The lush greenery surrounding the springs creates a perfect backdrop for photos and quiet reflection. Later, you take an hour to wander the area, exploring the flora and fauna, capturing memories, and soaking in the tranquil atmosphere. A short break follows, where you relax under the shade with snacks or drinks, enjoying the peaceful rhythm of nature. As the visit concludes, you prepare for departure, beginning the journey back to Moshi or Arusha.
