Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour

Discover Chagga Culture and Waterfall Wonder
Explore one of Kilimanjaro’s hidden gems with a refreshing day trip to Materuni Village. This full-day experience combines scenic hiking, a visit to a stunning waterfall, and a hands-on tour of traditional Chagga coffee-making — all in the lush foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Why Visit Materuni Waterfalls?

Materuni is one of the few places where you can experience authentic village life, trek through unspoiled nature, and swim in a cold, crystal-clear waterfall — all within a single day. Located just 30 minutes from Moshi town, it’s a perfect escape for nature lovers, cultural explorers, and those with limited time.

What to Expect

1. Village Walk and Chagga Coffee Tour
Start your adventure with a warm welcome from the local Chagga people. Walk through banana and avocado plantations while learning about traditional farming. Then, take part in a coffee-making demonstration — from bean to cup — with singing and dancing as part of the experience. You’ll roast, grind, and brew your own cup of organic Arabica coffee.

2. Hike to Materuni Waterfall
After the coffee tour, enjoy a scenic hike through lush forest trails to reach the impressive Materuni Waterfall. Surrounded by green cliffs and tropical vegetation, the waterfall drops nearly 80 meters into a natural pool where you can take a refreshing swim.
