Tour Plan
You will be picked from your hotel in Moshi and cycle to Materuni village located on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. You will cycle for almost one hour and a half to two hours and then walking to Materuni waterfall, which is around a 40-minute walk one way. On the way, your guide will inform you about the culture of the Chagga people, village life, and explain the surrounding flora and fauna. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. When you reach the waterfall, you will see that it is more than 80 meters high. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for a refreshing swim so don ‘t forgets your swim wear!
Next the coffee tour awaits you.
Here you will learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted, and further processed. You will also be invited to help with the grinding of the coffee, which is traditionally accompanied by Chagga songs and dances! It is a fun and unique way to immerse yourself in the local culture! Before you say goodbye, you can savor the coffee you made while appreciating the views of the surrounding montane rainforest.

All the food was fresh and delicious. Our guide and driver were the best. They were friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.VerifiedRaul M3 September 2024Great one day trip! The Materuni Waterfall and coffee tour was an unforgettable experience! The natural beauty of the waterfall was simply breathtaking. The coffee tour was equally fascinating and provided insights into how coffee is processed locally 'from bean to cup'. What made the experience truly exceptional was my tour guide, Abdul. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and warm personality brought the tour to life, making it educational and fun. Abdul's passion for sharing the local culture made this visit a standout adventure. Be prepared to hike on steep and sometimes slippery hills, but remember that the beautiful scenery makes it all worth it. I highly recommend it! Raul M.VerifiedOzgun V3 September 2024Materuni waterfall and coffee experience Absolutely stunning tropical scenery! My guide Aidani knew a lot about the flora and fauna he pointed out all of the different banana plants, coffee plants, etc. It was also quite muddy the day we went so he was careful to make sure I didn't slip. The waterfall was breathtaking and definitely worth the dip in the cold water. We then went for the coffee making demonstration and we sang and danced while we hulled, roasted and grinded the coffee beans. This was followed by an amazing lunch by Chef Cerveste ;) who made banana and meat soup (also bean and banana for vegetarian) and then rice and meat stew followed by fruits and avocado. Overall a fantastic day! Highly recommend for anyone who wants a day trip to explore near the Moshi area and the villages outside.VerifiedSimon29 August 2024Memorable trip to Materuni The walk up to Materuni was scenic and the waterfall was spectacular. The local meal was delicious and the live tutorial on coffee-making was enjoyable and interactive. Our guide, Sylvester, was friendly, knowledgable and answered all our questions. He made the whole day a very memorable one for us.VerifiedShanti L26 August 2024Enjoyable trip to Materuni Waterfalls Our trip to Materuni Waterfalls was truly memorable… all thanks to our guide Sylvester who was not only enthusiastic but entertained us with many interesting information on the place and its culture. Asante Sylvester from Malaysia!!VerifiedSalim Al Harthy25 August 2024Unforgettable memories at Materuni waterfall and coffee plantation Mangi, our guide was brilliant. We met him by chance but it was the best thing we did to use his services. He is immensely knowledgeable about the area and its people and culture and was very helpful and friendly. The traditional Coffee roasting experience is unforgettable. We also enjoyed nature and the waterfall. High recommended to visit the area and make sure you contact Mangi to guide you during your visitVerifiedArmelle D23 August 2024Change of scenery Lush vegetation, impressive waterfall. Very nice site. Apart from the finish at the waterfall which is a little more difficult the rest of the route is without difficulty. The guides and people of the village are nice, there is even the possibility to return by motorcycle taxi!VerifiedFabio D21 August 2024Slow tourism and authentic local culture in Materuni Sylvester was a fantastic host for us, we bring with us the nice memories we collected during our 2-nights stay at Materuni Homes! As well as hiking to the stunning Materuni Falls, we experienced the coffee making process and we did a cooking class with the local community. After our time there we felt connected with Materuni and we believe that our holiday would have been way less significant if we missed that. Totally recommended!
