Itinerary and highlights

Nestled just 15 kilometers from Moshi Town and situated at the edge of Kilimanjaro National Park lies Materuni, an authentic tribal village inhabited by the Chagga people.

Embark on a scenic 40-minute hike to the mesmerizing Materuni Waterfalls, where towering cascades of water plunge over 80 meters into a refreshing pool.

Prepare for the hike with sturdy hiking boots, as the trail can be slippery and muddy.

Along the way, you may catch a glimpse of the majestic Kilimanjaro summit.

Upon reaching the waterfalls, take a refreshing dip in the pool and savor the breathtaking scenery.

Afterward, return to Materuni Village and indulge in a traditional Chagga lunch, followed by a taste of the local banana beer, a specialty crafted by the skilled Chagga brewers.

Your Materuni adventure continues with an immersive coffee experience.

Discover the intricate process of coffee cultivation, from the initial planting to the final roasting and brewing.

Engage in the traditional practice of grinding coffee beans, accompanied by the vibrant melodies and rhythmic dances of the Chagga people.

Let the aromas and flavors of freshly brewed coffee linger as you soak in the panoramic views of the lush rainforest.

Following your coffee adventure in Materuni, embark on a journey to the enchanting Kikuletwa Hot Springs, nestled amidst picturesque landscapes.

Embrace a leisurely one-hour and twenty-minute drive, traversing partly over bumpy terrain.

Upon arrival, surrender to a blissful afternoon, indulging in sunbathing, engaging in lively conversations with local residents at the quaint bar, or simply immersing yourself in the revitalizing waters.

The choice is yours. As the sun begins its descent, bid farewell to the hot springs and embark on a relaxing return journey to your Arusha or Moshi accommodation.

Please note: swimming attire and towels are essential.
