Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Tour

Overview

One of the highlights of the Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Tour is the opportunity to experience the breathtaking beauty of Materuni Waterfall firsthand. Nestled in the lush greenery of the Kilimanjaro region in Tanzania, this majestic waterfall is a sight to behold. As I stood at the base of the waterfall, I couldn’t help but be in awe of its power and beauty. The cascading water, surrounded by towering trees and vibrant flora, created a serene and tranquil atmosphere.

The Materuni Coffee Tour allowed me to immerse myself in the rich cultural heritage of the region. I had the chance to visit a local coffee farm and learn about the traditional coffee-making process. From picking the ripe coffee cherries to roasting and grinding the beans, I gained a deeper appreciation for the art and science behind a good cup of coffee. The local farmers shared their knowledge and passion for coffee, making the experience even more enriching.

Materuni Waterfall - Moshi

Begin the day with a short drive up onto the slopes of Kilimanjaro, to the village of Materuni, approximately 1,800 m above 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 break, you will depart on a beautiful 45 minute hike through the hills and valleys en route to the waterfalls. Along the way your guide will teach 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 culture.

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 chill mountain waters.

After the falls hike you will return back to the car and return to Moshi. This is an experience you are sure to love, full of natural beauty, engaging education, and of course coffee.
