Materuni is the home of the Chagga tribe and is still an authentic tribal village. This charming place is just 15km away from Moshi Town and is the last village before the Kilimanjaro National Park.
First, you will visit the waterfalls, which are around a 40-minute walk away. On the way, the trail can be slippery and muddy best to have good hiking boots. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro.
When you reach the waterfalls, you will see that they are more than 80 meters high. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for a refreshing swim so don‘t forget your swimwear!
After having enjoyed the scenery, you slowly return with your guide to Materuni village, where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch.
You also will have the opportunity to taste our local banana beer – not to be missed! Tip: Chagga tribesmen are Tanzania’s finest brewers
But that’s not all. Next, the coffee experience awaits you. Here you will learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted, and further processed. You will also be invited to help with the grinding of the coffee, which is traditionally accompanied by Chagga songs and dances – a fun way to immerse yourself in the local culture.
Before you say goodbye, you can savor the coffee you made and appreciate the views of the surrounding rainforest
