Nature, Culture & Coffee in the Foothills of Kilimanjaro
begins just outside Arusha, where you’ll discover one of Tanzania’s most enchanting treasures—the Materuni Waterfall. Cascading nearly 80 meters down a lush cliff, it is surrounded by tropical rainforest and the fertile slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Your journey starts with a scenic drive through rolling hills and traditional Chagga villages. From there, a guided walk takes you through coffee and banana plantations, where you’ll learn about local traditions and farming practices while enjoying the sounds of birds in the green valleys.

As the trail winds deeper into the forest, the roar of falling water signals your arrival at Materuni. At its base, you’ll find crystal-clear waters plunging into a natural pool, an inviting spot for a refreshing swim beneath the falls.

Afterward, immerse yourself in an authentic Chagga coffee ceremony. Roast, grind, and brew beans by hand, following the same process passed down for generations, and savor a cup of fresh, rich coffee at the source.

This day trip combines adventure, culture, and relaxation into an unforgettable experience—perfect as a complement to a safari or Kilimanjaro climb.
