Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour & Picnic Hot lunch
Tour Highlight
Materuni is the home of the Chagga people and is still an authentic tribal village.This charming place is just 15km away from Moshi Town and it is the last village before the Kilimanjaro National Park.
Nestled in the picturesque foothills of majestic Kilimanjaro lies the charming village of Materuni, home to the Chagga people and renowned for its rich, aromatic coffee. On this delightful day out, you’ll have the unique opportunity to brew your own cup of coffee the traditional way and learn the secret to the perfect blend from the locals.
Your adventure continues with a hike along a short but invigorating trail to the stunning Materuni Falls, where you can stand under the cascading waters as they flow into a serene pool, perfect for a refreshing dip. After working up a sweat (or a healthy glow!) on the hike, there’s nothing more rewarding than cooling off in the tranquil waters. Enjoy your packed lunch before or after your swim—there’s no set agenda, just pure relaxation.

Tour Plan
A varied day on the slopes of Kilimanjaro
You will be picked up in Moshi in the morning, by our English-speaking guide, 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 Materuni waterfalls, which are around a 40-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. When you reach the waterfalls, you will see that they are 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 swimwear!
After having enjoyed the scenery, you slowly return with your guide to Mama Agness Home, where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. You also will have the opportunity to taste our local banana beer – definitely not to be missed!
But that’s not all. Next the coffee experience 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 - a fun way to immerse yourself in the local culture. Before you say goodbye and return in the afternoon to Moshi, you can savour the coffee you made and appreciate the views of the surrounding rainforest.
