Start your mini-adventure with the short but fascinating drive from Moshi town up the lush slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro to the village of Materuni, approximately 1,800 m above sea level. This is a market garden territory and has the perfect mixture of climate and soil to produce some of the best coffee in Africa. You will visit a coffee farm and learn about how coffee is grown, harvested, and processed, and you'll try your hand at roasting and preparing a fresh cup of coffee in the Chagga way.
After a delightful coffee break (so much better than the ones at work!) you'll take a beautiful 45 minutes to hike through the hill and valleys en route to the Materuni Falls. You will pass through banana and coffee plantations, up and down mini-valleys, across ridges, and through narrow splashing rivulets. Along the way, your guide will teach you about local plants and how they are used for food and traditional medicine, giving you more insight into the local Chagga culture.
