Materuni Waterfall, Village Walk, and Chagga Coffee Experience
A tour to Materuni Village and Waterfalls is a great way to spend a day away from the bustle of town life. The walk to Materuni Waterfall offers a glimpse into the nature of Tanzania, allowing you either to prepare your body for the forthcoming climb to Kilimanjaro or ease your muscles after the climb.
The Materuni Waterfall tour starts with a walk through the area adjacent to the waterfall, rich in the beautiful natural scenery of Tanzania. It is an opportunity to see how local fruits like avocados, mangos, lemons, and bananas grow, as well as learn some of the local history, traditions, village economy, agriculture, 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 continues with a visit to the local village set among the coffee plantations. The villagers will demonstrate the process of coffee farming and guide you through the preparation of coffee from bean to cup. Sing and dance along with the Chagga people as they grind, roast, and boil the beans. When the coffee is ready, the villagers will serve lunch - a national Chagga meal.
