Enjoy the Adventure
Discover the charming village of Materuni, set against the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Famous for its aromatic coffee, Materuni is home to the Chagga people, who will guide you through a delightful day of coffee making and natural beauty.
Start with a scenic drive from Moshi to Materuni, located about 1,800 meters above sea level. Here, you’ll visit a coffee farm to learn how coffee is grown, harvested, and roasted. You’ll even get to make your own cup of coffee, Chagga-style.
Next, enjoy a 45-minute hike through lush hills and valleys to reach the beautiful Materuni Falls. Along the way, you’ll pass banana and coffee plantations, and your guide will share interesting details about local plants and Chagga culture.
At the Falls, you’ll find a refreshing pool perfect for a swim. After your hike, take a dip in the cool water and relax. Feel free to enjoy your packed lunch before or after your swim—whatever suits you best!
This trip offers a wonderful chance to explore local traditions and stunning natural scenery.

Itinerary
We have carefully planned out each day to give you the best possible experience. From exploring historic landmarks to tasting delicious local cuisine, each day is packed with adventure and excitement. Join us as we take you on a journey through some of the most fascinating destinations in the world.
You have two options for getting from Moshi town to Materuni village. For an authentic local experience, you can ride a dala dala, the local minibuses. If you prefer a quicker and more comfortable journey, a private car is also available.
Once you arrive in Materuni, your coffee tour begins at a traditional Chagga farm, or “shamba.” Your guide will explain the Chagga homestead and the various crops they grow besides coffee. You’ll see the entire coffee-making process, from bean picking to roasting, and enjoy a freshly brewed cup yourself.
After the coffee tour, you’ll embark on a short hike—wear sturdy shoes as the path can be muddy. The hike will take you through local villages to the beautiful Materuni Waterfalls.
For lunch, you’ll either enjoy a picnic lunch box or a full meal prepared by a local family. After lunch, take a refreshing (and quite cold!) dip in the pools beneath the waterfalls.
