5.00Our visit to Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Tour in Tanzania was one of the most beautiful experiences The one that will be remembered for a lifetime. We began with a scenic walk through lush coffee farms and tiny villages, where everyone greeted us with smiles. Eddy was a perfect and professional as our tour companion. we joined the locals for a traditional coffee-making session, such a joyful and real experience. The aroma of the coffee was heavenly, and tasting our own cup felt so rewarding. Appreciate Jema Safaris and Tours for their hospitable service and to give the gift of an exciting, romantic trip.

5.00Tanzanian natural environment and the village people there fascinated us Our day trip Materuni Waterfall with George. He was very intelligent and very hospitable. When we reached Materuni Waterfalls, the sight stopped us in our tracks, a powerful cascade tumbling into a clear pool, its spray cooling the warm afternoon air. The trail to the waterfall wound through lush forest, each turn revealing more of Tanzania’s green beauty. We headed to a local home for a hands-on coffee-making experience. Authentic experiences
Wow, Wow & WoooW, Thank You Hassan 🙏

5.00We visited Matwruni Waterfall on a short trip but experienced it very well. We were lucky to get a chance making and they showed us how to peel, roast, and grind the beans, all while singing and dancing. Eddy very helpful us for our full day. Nice guy friendly his fun we just laugh the whole day. We loved the Materuni experience. The waterfall was hidden deep in green forest, and the hike felt like a small adventure. Standing close to the falls, the spray cooled our faces, and the children were so excited. Afterward, we learned about coffee from local farmers. The energy was contagious, and tasting the coffee we made ourselves was the highlight. We wanted to go again for a long time safari with Jema Safaris and Tours on our next vacation.
The memories will stay with us forever.

5.00Our final day in Materuni felt like an escape into another world. The hike to the waterfall was gentle yet full of charm, winding through coffee fields and banana farms where villagers smiled and greeted us along the way. When the roar of the falls grew louder, excitement built-and suddenly the forest opened to reveal a towering curtain of water crashing into a sparkling pool. The air was cool, the most refreshing, and the scene unforgettable. It was a journey that touched both nature and culture, leaving us with memories to carry far beyond Tanzania.
Spending the day at Materuni we felt like stepping into a postcard.

5.00Our final day trip to Materuni Waterfalls and the coffee village with my family was a perfect blend of adventure, culture, and laughter. The journey began with a scenic drive through lush green hills, where banana trees and coffee plants lined the path. Our Karrim guide led us on a gentle hike, sharing stories about the Chagga people and their traditions. As we reached the base of Materuni Waterfalls, the sight was breathtaking-crystal-clear water plunging from high above into a refreshing pool surrounded by vibrant greenery. The fresh coffee we brewed together was rich, aromatic, and somehow tasted even better because of the love and effort behind it. The coffee experience was just as memorable.
Asante Sana🤗

5.00Visiting Materuni Waterfalls and experiencing a traditional coffee tour was one of the most refreshing days I had near Mt. Kilimanjaro. The adventure began with a scenic drive through lush Chagga villages, where the greenery of banana plantations and coffee farms welcomed us warmly. We hiked through a beautiful forest trail towards Materuni Waterfalls. The sound of birds, the fresh mountain air, and the soothing noise of the cascading water made the short trek feel magical. When we finally reached the waterfall, the view was breathtaking- a towering 80-meter waterfall crashing down into a crystal-clear pool surrounded by dense forest. It felt like a hidden paradise.

5.00Our visit to Matwruni Waterfall with my beautiful girlfriend was pure magic. The walk through the peaceful green hills, hand in hand, felt like a scene from a romantic film with our guide Karrim. When we reached the waterfall, the view took our breath away-crystal-clear water pouring down surrounded by mist and lush forest. We stood close, letting the cool breeze and quiet sound of the falls wrap around us like nature’s music. That day wasn’t just beautiful, it was unforgettable. It was a moment of love, peace, and simple joy. Matwruni gave us more than a view, it gave us a memory we’ll hold onto forever.

5.00During our short Tanzania trip, my wife and I spent a magical day at Materuni Waterfalls near Mt. Kilimanjaro. The hike through lush green trails led us to a stunning, roaring waterfall-peaceful, powerful, and picture-perfect. Later, we joined a local coffee tour with Jema Safaris and Tours, where we roasted beans by hand and tasted the freshest brew we’ve ever had. The warmth of the Chagga people and the breathtaking scenery made it more than a tour-it was a beautiful memory we’ll always treasure.
Incredible team
