Materuni Waterfalls

Materuni Waterfalls

You'll start your day with breakfast at your hotel, and then head to Materuni Village. When you arrive, you'll visit the village office to get started. Your first stop will be the waterfalls, which are about a 40-minute walk away. The views are stunning, and if you're lucky, you might see Kilimanjaro's summit.

There's a cool pool at the base of the waterfall where you can take a refreshing swim, so remember to bring your swimwear!

After enjoying the scenery, you'll make your way back to Materuni village with your guide. Here, you'll get to savor a traditional Chagga lunch and even try our local banana beer.

Then, it's time for the coffee experience. You'll discover how coffee is grown, dried, roasted, and processed. You'll even have a chance to join in on grinding the coffee, all while being entertained by Chagga songs and dances —a fun way to immerse yourself in the local culture.

Finally, it's time to head to Kilimanjaro Airport for your evening flight to Zanzibar.
