Materuni Waterfalls/ Coffee Tour

Materuni Waterfalls. Discover, Explore and Experience A tour to Materuni Village and Waterfalls is a great way to spend a day in nature on the lower elevation of Mt Kilimanjaro. The hike to Materuni Waterfall offers a glimpse into the village life and beauty of Tanzania that most tourists never experience. This is a great day trip to plan for your first day in Tanzania, giving you a bit of altitude acclimatization and a little exercise after a long flight, but not so much as to tire you out.

The Materuni Waterfall tour starts with a walk through the area adjacent to the waterfall, rich in beautiful natural scenery of Tanzania. It is an opportunity to see how local fruit like avocados, mangoes, lemons, and bananas grow, as well as learn some of the local history, traditions, village economy, agricultural and cultural life. When you get to the waterfall, you can refresh yourself in the natural pool, so swimsuits will come in handy! The tour will continue with a visit to the local village lying in the coffee plantations. The villagers will demonstrate the process of coffee farming and guide you through the preparation of coffee from a bean to a cup. Sing and dance along with the Chagga people as they are grinding, roasting and boiling the beans. When the coffee is ready, villagers will prepare a lunch featuring traditional Chagga offerings. This is a very popular daytrip option which gets high praise even from clients who have no interest in coffee.
