Stop At: Materuni Waterfalls, Kisambi Juu, Namro Tanzania
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, trail can be slippery & 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 – definitely not to be missed!
Tip: Chagga tribesmen are Tanzania’s finest brewers
Duration: 3 hours
Stop At: Materuni Waterfalls, Kisambi Juu, Namro Tanzania
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.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Kikuletwa Hotsprings, BomaNgombe, Moshi 3041 Tanzania
After the coffee tour in Materuni your trip continues to the Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The ride to the hot springs takes about an hour and 20 minutes and leads partly over bumpy slopes
Enjoy a wonderful afternoon in just the way you want, in the sun dozing, chatting with the locals at the small bar, or swimming - you determine the course. We leave the hot springs in the late afternoon (just before sunset) and return relaxed to your hotel in Arusha or Moshi.
Note: have swimming wear & towels

The waterfall was beautiful, the coffee was so fun to make and the farmers are extremely nice and entertaining. The hot springs was like swimming in mermaid water.

I had such a great time at the waterfall. Baltazry my tour guide (and diver) was amazing.
The day started with a pick up from my hotel in Moshi. The company is based in Arusha and it was good that I didn’t get charged extra for Moshi pick up. After pick up we headed straight to Materuni falls, it was about a 40min drive then 45 min trek to the falls. We took our time enjoyed nature and when I got to the waterfalls the views were breathtaking. The company provided walking stick and also water boots (which was a life saver as it was pretty muddy on route.)
After the waterfalls in the same area I was treated to coffee making coupled with singing and dancing. It was really great.
We then headed to the hot springs. But not before we stopped off at a Tanzanite shop, I didn’t buy anything initially was wasn’t sure but Baltazary was kind enough to return after the hot springs.
The Kikuletwa hot springs were really fun. Such a good vibe. Perfect mix of locals and tourists. With April being off season meant that there were not too many crowds. Baltazary allow me to spend as long as I want with not interruption.
All in all it was an amazing experience I will definitely recommend

I had a great time. Andrew was my tour guide. He was timely and pleasant. I was able to take some nice photos. I really appreciated the fact that the company had rain jackets, boots and hiking sticks readily available. The lunch was very good and the coffee making experience was a delicious delight.

This experience was fantastic! Our guide Andrew was very informative and engaging. Our tour was on Easter Sunday, and Andrew suggested we go to the hot springs first because it was likely to be overcrowded in the afternoon, and boy, was he right! Just as we were leaving, a ton of people showed up. The coffee tour was so cool! Justin and his family were phenomenal! We got to see the whole process and even help. And the coffee was delicious! The hike to the falls was gorgeous, and the falls were absolutely breathtaking!!! 💯 would recommend!

This day trip was the perfect way to experience Arusha and the Kilimanjaro area. We saw a stunning waterfall, learned about coffee with a delicious tasting, and had a fantastic lunch with vegetarian and nut-free options. Our guide, Andrew, was incredible – knowledgeable, friendly, and a great photographer! He made sure we had an amazing time and captured awesome memories for us. We swam in a beautiful swimming hole in the afternoon – the perfect ending to a perfect day! Highly recommend!

Our guide Andrew was the best guide we’ve had in our entire trip in East Africa. Andrew is very knowledgeable about all of the local customs and history. We enjoyed going to the waterfall, trying out coffee, and going to the warm Springs. On top of all of that Andrew is an excellent photographer so we captured some incredible memories.
I highly recommend Andrew to anyone who is looking to explore the Kilimanjaro area . Wish i could give him 6 stars!
