Day 01

Materuni Chagga tribe culture, Local Coffee Making and waterfalls tour. Located in the picturesque foothills of Kilimanjaro, Materuni has managed to retain its authentic edge over some of the other tourist attractions as it is not one of the routes for climbing Kilimanjaro. Once you reach the village you will start your coffee tour at a traditional Chagga ‘shamba’ (farm). Here your guide will explain all aspects of the Chagga homestead including the other crops that they grow aside from coffee. You will get to see how the coffee is produced- from picking the bean to roasting and then drinking a delicious cup yourself. Following your coffee tour, you will then take a short hike (make sure to wear some good shoes as it can be muddy up there), passing through local villages to reach the waterfalls. Here you will either have a picnic lunch box or arrive at a full spread of freshly cooked lunch prepared for you. Following lunch, you will have the opportunity to take a dip in the refreshing (quite cold!) pools beneath the waterfalls.Overnight at Your Hotel In Moshi

Lake Jipe and Isua WaterfallsLake Jipe is an inter-territorial lake straddling the borders of Kenya and Tanzania. On the Kenyan side, it is located south of the village of Nghonji while on the Tanzanian side, it is situated within Mwanga District, in Kilimanjaro Region. A trip to Lake Jipe will give a wonderful experience for canoeing boat drive and see hippos along the way to the edge of the lake; where elephants can be seen. Lake Jipe receives its main inflow from Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania via River Lumi passing through Kenya. The other main inflow is via River Muvulani from the Pare Mountains.

Day 04

Arusha National ParkThe small national park includes the slopes, summit, and ash cone of Mt. Meru, the Momela Lakes, Ngurdoto Crater, and the lush highland forests that blanket its lower slopes. Game viewing around the Momela Lakes is at a laid-back and quiet pace, and while passing through the forest many visitors stop to search for troupes of rare colobus monkeys playing in the canopy. There are shallows sometimes tinged pink with thousands of flamingos. The entrance gate leads into a shadowy montane forest inhabited by inquisitive blue monkeys and colourful turacos and trogons – the only place on the northern safari circuit where the acrobatic black-and-white colobus monkey is easily seen. The spectacular Ngurdoto Crater, enclose a wide marshy floor dotted with herds of buffalo and warthog. Further north, Giraffes glide across the grassy hills, between grazing zebra herds, whilst pairs of wide-eyed dik-dik dart into scrubby bush like overgrown hares on spindly legs.Overnight at Hotel in Arusha

Day 05

Kikuletwa Hot SpringsThis is a small blue lagoon with a rope and swing, some friendly bats and warm not hot springs the pond is very deep with 7 meters.
