Day 01

Moshi to Materuni Village

  • Activity: Trekking & Cultural Experience
  • Meals Included: Lunch: (Special Local Food)

You will have two options for transport between Moshi town and the village… For those who wish to have the ‘real’ experience, you can hop on a dala dala (the local minibusses. If you’d prefer to travel more quickly and comfortably you can choose to take a private car. Once you reach the village you will start your coffee tour at a traditional Chaggah ‘shamba’. Here your guide will explain all aspects of the Chaggah homestead including the other crops that they grow aside from coffee. You will get to see how the coffee is produced- from picking the bean to roasting and then drinking a delicious cup yourself. Following your coffee tour you will then take a short hike (make sure to wear some sports or Mountain boot, shoes as it can be muddy up there), passing through local villages to reach the waterfalls. You will either have a picnic lunch box or arrive at a full spread of freshly cooked lunch prepared for one of the local families, Following lunch you will have the opportunity to take a dip in the refreshing(quite cold!) pools beneath the waterfalls.
