Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel in Moshi or Arusha, followed by a scenic drive through lush countryside towards Materuni Village. As you arrive, the fresh mountain air and vibrant greenery set the tone for the day.
You will start with a guided hike through beautiful coffee and banana plantations, learning about the plants, local traditions, and culture along the way. The walk is gentle and refreshing, leading you deeper into the rainforest where the impressive Materuni Waterfall reveals itself — a 90-meter cascade pouring into a natural pool. Here, you can relax, swim in the cool waters, and take in the incredible views.
After visiting the waterfall, you will head back to the village for a traditional coffee-making experience. You'll be welcomed by the Chagga people and invited to participate in the full process of preparing coffee — from roasting and grinding the beans to brewing a cup the local way, all accompanied by joyful Chagga songs.
If you choose, you can also enjoy a hearty traditional Chagga lunch, sampling local dishes freshly prepared by the community. After some time relaxing and enjoying the village atmosphere, you will return to your hotel with unforgettable memories of nature, culture, and flavor.
