Safari summary
This full-day tour to Materuni Waterfall and a traditional Chagga coffee farm offers a peaceful and authentic Tanzanian experience just outside of Moshi. Perfect for couples, nature lovers, and cultural explorers, the trip combines scenic hiking, a visit to one of the highest waterfalls at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro, and an interactive coffee-making tour in a local village.
Materuni is the last village before the Kilimanjaro Forest begins, and its home to the Chagga people, known for their warm hospitality and coffee-growing traditions. You'll hike through lush green hills, banana and avocado plantations, and small farms to reach the impressive Materuni Waterfall, which plunges over 70 meters into a clear, cool pool, great for photos, and even a refreshing dip if you're brave!
After the hike, you’ll visit a local coffee farm where you’ll learn how coffee is grown, harvested, and processed, then roast, grind, and enjoy your own cup of fresh Chagga coffee, made the traditional way.
This tour is a beautiful mix of light adventure, culture, nature, and relaxation, all in one unforgettable day.
