Looking for a relaxing yet adventurous day? The Materuni Waterfalls Day Trip is the perfect blend of nature, culture, and flavor. Located on the lush slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, Materuni is a hidden paradise offering a scenic waterfall, traditional Chagga culture, and an authentic coffee-making experience.
This trip is ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a peaceful escape from the city while exploring local traditions.
This day trip is perfect for those who want a cultural connection beyond wildlife safaris, offering a glimpse into the vibrant traditions and hospitality of one of East Africa’s most famous tribes.
Pick-up from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha around 8:00 AM. Drive through picturesque landscapes of banana and coffee plantations to Materuni village, the last village before entering Kilimanjaro National Park.
Begin a short hike (45–60 minutes) through lush forests and farmlands to reach the Materuni Waterfall. Along the way, your local guide will share insights about the flora, fauna, and Chagga traditions. Take photos and, if you’re adventurous, enjoy a refreshing swim in the cool mountain waters.
Return to the village and join a traditional coffee-making session. From harvesting, roasting, and grinding the beans to brewing your own coffee, you’ll experience the entire process while singing Chagga songs and learning about their rich culture.
Enjoy a traditional Chagga lunch with fresh, local ingredients.
After lunch and coffee tasting, relax and soak in the beautiful scenery before driving back to Moshi or Arusha in the late afternoon.
