Itinerary and highlights
You will be picked up in Moshi or Your defined location in the morning, by our driver, who will drive you to Materuni Village. Upon arrival, you will register at the village office and your trip can begin. First you will visit the waterfalls, which are around a 35 minute walk away. On the way, your guide will inform you about the culture of the Chagga, village life and explain the surrounding fauna and flora. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for a refreshing swim so don‘t forget your swim wear! After having enjoyed the scenery, you slowly return with your guide to a traditional house where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. Next the coffee experience awaits you. Here you will learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted and further processed and you will make your own cup of coffee and drink. After that we start the drive back to your hotel in Moshi.
