Overview

Materuni Waterfalls Nestled in the lush foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, the picturesque village of Materuni is renowned for its rich coffee, grown in the perfect climate and soil. On this aromatic journey, you’ll visit a local coffee farm where you’ll learn about the entire coffee process—from cultivation to roasting—and even try your hand at preparing your own cup of coffee in the traditional Chagga style.

After your coffee experience, enjoy a scenic 45-minute hike through vibrant coffee and banana plantations, crossing ridges and streams as you make your way to the breathtaking Materuni Falls. The falls, tucked away in a pristine valley with cliffs towering above, offer the perfect spot to cool off with a swim in the tranquil pool below the cascading waters.

Along the hike, your guide will share fascinating insights into the local flora, explaining how various plants are used for food and traditional medicine. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn more about the Chagga people’s culture and lifestyle, making this an immersive and enriching experience.

Tour Itinerary

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.

Best Family safari with Safari Escort We visited Tanzania as a family of 8 people and had to see Great Wildebeest Migration in Serengeti for the first time. We were worried of the kids but Isack and the company assured us that we can have kids with us. Sure enough, it was amazing. We stayed at Acacia properties in Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti.

Incredible This was our second experience in Tanzania after we had visited in 2023. This time we wanted to visit southern circuit of Tanzania. We therefore booked our 15 day safari covering Nyerere, Mikumi, Udzungwa and Ruaha including different ads-on activities like Walking, Boat, Hiking and Game drives. Lodges and camps were excellent, the foods (local foods), staff we met at every place we stayed were splendid. Can't say much above all Khalifa was a great guy, we had him as a guide for the trip. This was cost effective safari experience.

Best Tanzania Safari We enjoyed an exceptional 5-day safari in February during the calving season. We explored Tarangire, the Ngorongoro Crater, and the Ndutu area. Wildlife viewing was outstanding, particularly witnessing numerous newborn animals in Ndutu. The guides were highly knowledgeable and welcoming, consistently ensuring we experienced the best sightings in complete safety.The entire journey was excellently organized, and the driver was outstanding, driving smoothly while sharing many insightful facts. I felt safe and comfortable throughout the trip overall. This safari ranks among the finest experiences of my life. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour and Safari Escort.
