Moshi to Materuni Waterfall and 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 to either prepare your body for the forthcoming climb to Kilimanjaro or ease your muscles after the climb.
The tour starts with a walk to Materuni Waterfall. It is an opportunity to see how local fruits like avocados, mangos, lemons, and bananas grow, and to learn some of the local history, traditions, village economy, and agricultural and cultural life.
When you get to the waterfall, refresh yourself in the natural pool, so swimsuits will come in handy.
The tour continues with a visit to the local village lying in 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 with the Chaga people as they grind, roast, and boil the beans. When the coffee is ready, the villagers serve lunch - a national Chagga meal.
