Materuni is a Chagga village tucked into Kilimanjaro’s southern foothills, 15km from Moshi, home to an 80-metre waterfall and generations of traditional coffee farming. This half-day excursion combines a guided hike through banana and coffee plantations to the falls with a hands-on coffee tour — from picking the beans to roasting, grinding, and brewing your own cup.
It’s an easy, low-altitude day that works well as a gentle warm-up before a Kilimanjaro climb, a relaxed recovery day afterward, or a cultural add-on to any safari itinerary.
Swim in the natural pool at the base of one of the tallest waterfalls on Kilimanjaro's lower slopes.
Learn traditional Chagga coffee farming, then roast, grind, and brew your own cup by hand.
A genuine village experience, including a traditional lunch and the chance to taste local banana beer.
A gentle guided hike suitable for most fitness levels — no acclimatization or technical gear required.
