What to expect
Materuni is the home of the Chagga tribe and is still an authentic tribal village. This charming place is just 15km away from Moshi Town and is the last village before the Kilimanjaro National Park.
First you will visit the waterfalls, which are around a 40-minute walk away. On the way, trail can be slippery & muddy best to have good hiking boots. 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 forget your swimwear!
After having enjoyed the scenery, you slowly return with your guide to Materuni village, 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!
Tip: Chagga tribesmen are Tanzania’s finest brewers
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Materuni Waterfalls, Kisambi Juu Materuni, Moshi Tanzania
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, you can savor the coffee you made and appreciate the views of the surrounding rainforest.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Kikuletwa Hotsprings, BomaNgombe, Moshi 3041 Tanzania
After the coffee tour in Materuni your trip continues to the Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The ride to the hot springs takes about an hour and 20 minutes and leads partly over bumpy slopes
Enjoy a wonderful afternoon in just the way you want, in the sun dozing, chatting with the locals at the small bar, or swimming - you determine the course. We leave the hot springs in the late afternoon (just before sunset) and return relaxed to your hotel in Arusha or Moshi.
Note: have swimming wear & towels
Duration: 3 hours

We had a Great experience on this tour with Andrew as our guide. The hot springs are a Beautiful swim in tropical surroundings. The top event of the day was visiting Materuni Village where We had the best lunch of our whole trip to Tanzania. The coffee tour in the Village was Great too and the coffee tastes so much better. After lunch and coffee We did the hike to the waterfall. It was raining which made the path very slippery. So dont forget good hiking shoes. Sandals is not a good idea. Andrew was an entusiastic and knowledgable guy and good Company on the tour.Really nice experience from the start until the end ! Andrew, the guide, known well the environnement and made this trip even better
