Best African Safari, Tanzania

Safari summary

Belonging to the Chagga tribe, Materuni is still an authentic tribal village, a charming place just 15km from Moshi Town and the last village in Kilimanjaro National Park.
First, you will visit the Materuni Waterfalls, which are about a 40-minute walk from the village. Along the way, your guide will tell you about the Chagga tribe, village life, and the surrounding fauna and flora. The views are really impressive and with a bit of luck you will see the summit area of Mount Kilimanjaro. The pool at the foot of the Materuni waterfalls invites you to take a refreshing dip, so don't forget to swim!

After taking in the scenery, slowly return with your guide to the village of Materuni, where you'll enjoy a traditional Chagga lunch. You will also have the chance to taste our delicious local banana beer.

Then experience the coffee brewing tour, where you will learn how coffee is grown, dried, roasted and processed. You are also invited to help grind the coffee, which is traditionally accompanied by Chagga chants and dances. Sip your brewed coffee and enjoy the views of the surrounding rainforest before departing and returning to Moshi/Arusha in the afternoon.
