    Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Tour is a truly unforgettable experience. Surrounded by lush green nature, the waterfall is breathtaking and peaceful, offering a perfect escape from busy life. The hike to the falls is scenic and refreshing. The coffee tour is equally amazing—learning how local Chagga people grow, roast, and brew coffee in a traditional way is both fun and authentic. The fresh coffee tastes incredible and completes the experience perfectly. A must-visit adventure for nature lovers and cultural explorers.

    Visiting Materuni Waterfall and the local coffee experience is one of the most rewarding and authentic activities you can enjoy near Mount Kilimanjaro.

The walk to the waterfall is scenic and refreshing, taking you through tropical vegetation with fresh mountain air and stunning views along the way. Materuni Waterfall is absolutely spectacular. Cascading from a height of around 80 meters, the waterfall is powerful, crystal clear, and surrounded by dense greenery. The sound of the falling water creates a calming atmosphere, making it a perfect place to relax, take photos, and enjoy nature at its purest. For those who are adventurous, a swim in the cool natural pool at the base of the waterfall is incredibly refreshing after the hike.

The coffee itself is rich, aromatic, and full of flavor, reflecting the fertile volcanic soil of the Kilimanjaro region. Drinking freshly made coffee while listening to stories about local traditions creates a deep appreciation for the culture and hard work behind every cup. Overall, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Tour is more than just a sightseeing trip—it is a meaningful cultural and natural experience.

    Visiting Materuni Waterfall and the coffee experience was one of the most memorable and authentic experiences of my trip to Tanzania. From the very beginning, the tour felt personal, well-organized, and deeply connected to local culture. The journey to Materuni village itself was beautiful, passing through lush green landscapes, banana plantations, and small local farms with Mount Kilimanjaro standing proudly in the background. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed by our guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about sharing the history and traditions of the Chagga people. The hike to Materuni Waterfall was an adventure on its own. Walking through tropical forest paths, learning about local plants, fruits, and traditional uses made the walk both educational and enjoyable. When we finally reached the waterfall, the view was absolutely breathtaking. The waterfall is tall, powerful, and surrounded by untouched nature. The fresh mountain air, the sound of the water, and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to relax. Swimming at the base of the waterfall was refreshing and unforgettable. After the waterfall, the coffee experience was equally impressive. We learned the full coffee-making process—from picking the coffee beans to roasting, grinding, and brewing everything by hand using traditional methods. The experience was interactive, fun, and gave a real appreciation of how much work and care goes into making a single cup of coffee. The coffee tasted amazing—fresh, rich, and full of flavor. What made this experience truly special was the authenticity. It was not rushed or touristy; instead, it felt genuine and community-based. The guide made sure everyone felt comfortable, answered all questions, and shared stories that brought the experience to life. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Moshi or Kilimanjaro. It is perfect for nature lovers, cultural explorers, and anyone looking for a meaningful local experience. Materuni Waterfall and the coffee tour are a must-do, and I would absolutely do it again.

    Materuni Waterfall is a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Hidden in the lush green village at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, the walk to the waterfall is filled with beautiful scenery, local life, and fresh mountain air. When you arrive, the waterfall is breathtaking—powerful, tall, and incredibly refreshing. Swimming in the cool natural pool below feels magical and peaceful at the same time. What makes Materuni special is not only the waterfall itself, but also the warm hospitality of the local people, which makes the entire experience feel authentic and one of a kind.

    “The Materuni Tour was an unforgettable and well-organized experience that perfectly combined nature, culture, and adventure. From the beginning, the journey to Materuni Village was scenic, with beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro and lush green landscapes. The hike to Materuni Waterfall was enjoyable and not too difficult, passing through banana plantations, local farms, and peaceful forest paths. Our guide was very knowledgeable and shared interesting information about the area, local plants, and Chagga culture along the way. Reaching the waterfall was absolutely breathtaking. The sight and sound of the water cascading down into a natural pool was refreshing and calming. We had enough time to relax, take photos, and even swim in the cool, crystal-clear water. It was the perfect place to connect with nature and escape the busy city life. One of the highlights of the tour was the traditional coffee experience in Materuni Village. Learning how coffee is grown, roasted, and prepared by the local community was both fun and educational. The songs, dancing, and warm hospitality made the experience even more special, and the fresh coffee tasted amazing.Highly recommended for anyone visiting the Kilimanjaro region.”
