Tour Plan
Morning: River Crossings and Wildlife Exploration
Your cycling adventure begins with a ride toward the river, guiding you through local agricultural lands to an old community bridge. Crossing this historic structure adds an exciting element of adventure to the journey, physically linking the surrounding farming communities and village landscapes. From the river, you will cycle deeper into a protected conservation area where the natural environment comes alive. Your expert guide will help you spot and identify unique plant species, local birds, and monkeys along the trail.
Midday: Garden Lunch and Cultural Connection
Around midday, you will take a well-deserved break at a charming local restaurant nestled within a peaceful garden setting. Here, you will enjoy a fresh local lunch and take time to unwind in the quiet countryside atmosphere. This extended stop offers a wonderful, relaxed opportunity to chat with local residents and experience authentic Tanzanian hospitality.
Afternoon: Rural Ride and Mountain Views
After lunch, you will begin your return journey toward Moshi using an entirely different, scenic section of the route. The ride winds through quiet rural roads and wide-open landscapes, offering endless opportunities to capture photographs of the countryside. As the day draws to a close, the open terrain reveals impressive views of Mount Meru and, weather permitting, the iconic snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Late Afternoon: Flexible Conclusion
Your journey concludes flexibly based on your preference and energy levels. You can choose to pedal all the way back into Moshi town to finish on two wheels, or you can opt for a comfortable vehicle transfer that brings you directly back to your hotel or lodge to relax for the evening.

Great excursion to the waterfall with a coffee tour Very nice hike with our guide William to the waterfall at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. He told us a lot about the plants, animals, and Materuni. Afterwards, we were allowed to learn how coffee is made from raw coffee beans. Freshly brewed, really very delicious! A warm meal rounded off the beautiful day. We can highly recommend this excursion.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Super tourist Great to do. First a nice walk around the area. And slowly you hear the waterfall and when you are there it gives you a beautiful view of the waterfall. Walking back, you come to the coffee plantation and first get a super lunch. After lunch, everything is told about the beans and what you need to make coffee. After the explanation, you will grind beans the old-fashioned way. And it was sung. After grinding, the coffee is brewed and deliciously drunk.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Amazing Materuni ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A highly recommended experience! We hiked to Materuni Waterfalls, had a big and tasty lunch at the village, and then visited the coffee plantations and enjoyed the traditional coffee ceremony, taking part in the whole process. We had such a great time! A special mention to our guide, Colman Alexander, who was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. He is also a botanist, so along the way he taught us lots of interesting things about the local plants, wildlife and culture, which made the experience even more special. We’d also like to thank our driver, who was very kind and attentive throughout the day and made all our transfers comfortable and enjoyable. We 100% recommend Colman Alexander and this whole experience. Definitely worth it if you’re visiting the Kilimanjaro area! 🌿🏔️☕️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Great waterfall hike and coffee experience with Silvester We had a wonderful day at Materuni, thanks largely to our guide Silvester. He led us to the waterfalls with great knowledge and answered all our questions, yet was never intrusive, giving us time to enjoy the scenery at our own pace. The coffee experience afterwards was a lovely highlight too. Friendly, calm and very competent, highly recommendedPosted on Tripadvisor![]()

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An amazing experience with Robert in Materuni* We had an absolutely fantastic experience in Materuni with our local guide, Robert. From the very beginning, he was incredibly friendly, attentive and professional, and he made the whole experience truly special. We visited the Materuni Waterfalls, where Robert taught us so much about the local culture, vegetation, wildlife and the area in general. He has a huge amount of knowledge and clearly loves sharing it with visitors. We then enjoyed a delicious local meal and learned about the whole coffee-making process — from how the coffee is picked to how it is traditionally prepared. And, of course, we got to taste it at the end! It was a really authentic and fascinating experience. Robert speaks excellent English, explains everything very clearly and is always happy to answer questions. He also took amazing photos of us, capturing some really special moments that we will keep as memories of our trip. What made the experience even better was the opportunity to learn about Materuni and Tanzanian culture from someone so passionate and knowledgeable. We highly recommend this experience, and especially Robert as a guide. If you are visiting the area, don’t hesitate to book it — you won’t regret it! Thank you so much, Robert, for such an unforgettable day! 🇹🇿❤️Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Amazing experience with an exceptional guide! We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Materuni Waterfall and the coffee tour, and a huge part of it was thanks to our wonderful guide, Colman. From beginning to end, Colman was attentive, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. He explained everything in great detail and made the whole experience interesting, fun and very enjoyable. He also speaks perfect Spanish, which was a huge bonus for us and allowed us to fully appreciate all his explanations. The waterfall was spectacular, the coffee experience was fascinating, and the whole day was beautifully organized. Colman’s enthusiasm and professionalism really made the difference and turned an already amazing excursion into something truly special. Thank you, Colman, for making this such a memorable experience. We couldn’t recommend him and this tour highly enough!Posted on Tripadvisor![]()
