Experience local Materuni village life at the edge Mount Kilimanjaro with a visit to Explore Coffee Experience & Hiking to Materuni Waterfall.
Our guide/driver will pick you up in Arusha around 7 am and drive for 2 hours and45 minutes to Materuni village. After you arrive you will register at the village office, then your adventure will begin hiking to the Waterfall first.
You’ll walk for about 45 minutes over narrow paths through lush vegetation. On a clear day you might see Kilimanjaro, but even if you don’t we’re sure you won’t be disappointed. The scenery is stunning and your guide will give you a first introduction to Chagga culture and habits. There’ll be time to rest at the waterfall, or even a swim if you’re brave enough to face the cold water.
Later on, you’ll walk back to the village, which again will take around 45 minutes. You’ll continue your day with a coffee experience. Our local chagga guide will explain you more about how the coffee beans are grown, dried, roasted etc. But that’s not all! You won’t just get the explanation, but also the opportunity to execute every step by yourself, while the locals are singing and dancing all around.
After all this hard work you deserve a nice lunch, and the local ‘mama’s’ will be more than happy to prepare some of their favorite Chagga dishes for you. Banana stew, pilau or rice and beans are only a few of the options.
Once you’ve finished your meal and coffee it’s time to leave and your guide/driver will take you back to Arusha.
