5.00My girlfriend and I had an unforgettable day exploring Materuni Waterfalls, experiencing a traditional coffee tour, and relaxing at Chemka Hot Springs. From the beginning, the trip felt authentic and well planned. The walk to the waterfall was full of beautiful views and interesting facts about the local area. The view of the powerful waterfall in the middle of nature was breathtaking. One of our favorite parts was the coffee experience, where we learned every step from the coffee bean to the cup. The local hosts were hospitable and lively, and they made the experience educational and entertaining. The Chemka hot springs were a perfect end to the day. We would absolutely recommend this peaceful and enjoyable authentic day.

5.00Our day at Materuni Waterfalls and the coffee tour with my family honestly we enjoyed the day with peace. The waterfall was beautiful and peaceful, an ideal place to stop and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. The coffee tour was equally memorable. We were fascinated to see how everything is done traditionally and to be a part of the process. The whole thing was extraordinary and a first for us. The locals were hospitable and made us feel at ease the entire time. Amazing family journey thanks to Kibo Mawenzi Safaris and our perfect guide Elia.
The day was truly special and memorable.

5.00We did this activity with Issah the professional guide. It was amazing. We started from Arusha to Materuni for around a little over 2 hours, but talking with Issah time passed really quickly. The materuni waterfalls were really pretty and Issah proved to be a good guide, we then shared with another group a very good lunch and learned a lot about coffee making, it was fun and entertaining, we really had the best time with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris.
Wonderful day with full of peace.

5.00My wife and I loved how our guide shared stories about the land, the people, and their traditions. The waterfall itself was breathtaking, loud, and powerful, yet calming at the same time. Our participation in the coffee process was unexpectedly fun-pounding beans, laughing at our technique, and finally tasting the result. Really it was our very refreshing and enjoyable day and it perfectly organized Kibo Mawenzi Safaris, they were really amazing.

5.00This 1-day trip touched us beyond our expectations. From the early morning pickup, everything felt smooth and welcoming by Kibo Mawenzi. The village of Materuni was full of life, culture, and beautiful views at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. The hike to the waterfall was refreshing and standing under the powerful water made us feel connected to nature. Learning about the Chaga tradition was a special moment, especially the coffee-making process where everyone laughed, danced, and participated. The lunch was simple but delicious, made even more beautiful by the surroundings. The Chemka Hot Spring was the perfect ending, allowing us to completely relax in the warm, clear waters. This experience wasn’t just about the sights – it was about the connection, the culture, and the shared memories. A truly meaningful day & a big appreciation to Kibo Mawenzi Safaris team for well decorated our whole day, that we will always remember.
Everything was at a high level

5.00Our vacation in Materuni was one of the most refreshing experiences of our trip. And the Kibo team's contribution to making this trip interesting is huge. Started with Mwangi Evans our exploring. The hike through the forest felt peaceful, with tall trees, fresh air, and glimpses of Mount Kilimanjaro behind us. As we reached Materuni Waterfalls, the view was incredible-the long drop of water surrounded by green cliffs looked almost unreal. We took a dip despite the chilly water, laughing at how cold it was. The cultural tour with the Chagga people was warm and welcoming. We joined in roasting coffee beans, grinding them by hand, and tasting the final brew. Their banana beer added a fun twist. Lunch with freshly cut fruits tasted amazing after the walk Finally we visited Kikuletwa Hot Spring, a natural pool with clear water and roots hanging overhead. The tiny fish that gently nibbled at our feet made us smile. The whole day felt balanced and full of excitement.
