Materuni waterfalls with coffee tour itinerary
The day begins with a short drive up onto the slopes of Kilimanjaro, to the famous village of Materuni, approximately 1,800m above the sea level. This lush rainforest region is known for producing some of the best coffee in East Africa.
Start the day with a visit to a small coffee farm and learn about how the coffee is grown, harvested and processed locally. Try your own hand at processing, roasting and preparing a fresh cup of coffee in the local Chagga way.
Once you have finished enjoying your coffee cup, you will depart on a beautiful 45-minute hike through the hills and valleys en route to the wonderful waterfalls. Along the way your guide will show and explain to you about local plants and how they are used for food and traditional medicine, as well as giving you more insight into the local Chagga cultural realities.
The waterfalls are hidden in a pristine valley with cliffs towering up to 200ft overhead. The water falls straight down in a curtain to land in a small pool where you can relax, take lunch and go for a swim in the mountain waters.
After swimming break, you will return back to Moshi town. This is an experience you will always feel it, full of natural beauties, engaging education, and of course coffee.
