Trip Overview

Materuni Water Falls settlement is situated 1300 meters above sea level and can be reached from Moshi by automobile in around 45 minutes. It’s among the most popular communities in the Moshi area. The Materuni waterfalls and the journey from the town to reach there are unquestionably its greatest highlights. However, there are many more things to do and see, as well as many more reasons to come!

These Materuni Water Falls visits may be combined with a Chagga lunch and a local coffee experience to form a fantastic day excursion that can be taken either before or after your safari or Kilimanjaro climb. You will learn a great deal about the Chagga way of life, the community, the local flora and trees, their purposes, and of course, coffee.

You may get a great sense of how roads and communities seem outside of city centres by taking the stunning trip up to the village from Moshi, which is about 800 meters above sea level.

Tour Plan

The tour starts with a walk to Materuni Waterfall. It is an opportunity to see how local fruit like avocados, mangos, lemons, and bananas grow, as well as learn some of the local history, traditions, village economy, and agricultural and cultural life. When you get to the waterfall, you can refresh yourself in the natural pool, so swimsuits will come in handy!

The tour will continue with a visit to the local village lying in the coffee plantations. The villagers will demonstrate the process of coffee farming and guide you through the preparation of coffee from a bean to a cup. Sing and dance along with the Chaga people as they are grinding, roasting, and boiling the beans. When the coffee is ready, villagers will serve a nice lunch, and local ‘mama’s’ will be more than happy to prepare some of their favorite Chagga dishes for you. Banana stew, pilau, or rice and beans are only a few of the options.
