An authentic cultural and natural day excursion featuring lush rain forest hikes, waterfall swimming, and traditional coffee making.
A Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour with African Traces Company offers an unforgettable blend of culture, hiking, and refreshing natural beauty on the fertile slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Materuni Village is the last village before entering the Mount Kilimanjaro National Park. Nestled just 15 km outside of Moshi, this authentic Chagga village is famous for its towering 80-meter waterfall and rich coffee-growing heritage. Guided by local Chagga experts, you will walk through verdant coffee and banana farms, take a invigorating dip beneath the cascading waters, and join in local songs while roasting your own fresh cup of organic Arabica coffee.
Situated in Materuni Village, approximately 15 km from Moshi town center (30 minutes drive) and 85 km from Arusha, set against Mt. Kilimanjaro's foothills.
Hike through tropical greenery to reach a dramatic 80-meter waterfall plunging into a cool, natural pool perfect for a refreshing swim.
Participate in traditional Chagga coffee production—pulping, roasting, and grinding coffee beans accompanied by traditional songs and dances.
Experience genuine local hospitality, enjoy a delicious homemade Chagga meal, and learn about indigenous mountain farming traditions.
The rich volcanic soil and moist microclimate of the Kilimanjaro foothills support vibrant plant life and local farming:
