Day 01
Materuni Waterfalls Hike, Chagga Lunch and Coffee Experience
- First, you will visit the Materuni Waterfalls, which are around a 40-minute walk away.
- On the way, your guide will inform you about Chagga culture and village life, and explain the surrounding fauna and flora. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you will have a great view of Mt 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 enjoying the scenery, you will slowly return with your guide to the Materuni village area, where you will get to experience a traditional Chagga lunch.
- You will also have the opportunity to taste the local banana beer, which is definitely not to be missed.
- Next, the coffee experience awaits. Here, you will learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted, and further processed.
- You will also be invited to help with grinding 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 and return to Moshi in the afternoon, you can savour the coffee you made and appreciate the views of the surrounding rainforest.
