Overview
Experience the perfect blend of nature, culture, and adventure with Wild Kings Africa’s Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Farm Tour. Located at the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, just 15 kilometers from Moshi town, Materuni Village offers visitors a glimpse into authentic Chagga life, breathtaking scenery, and Tanzania’s famous Arabica coffee cultivation.
Your journey begins with a guided village walk through lush green hills and small farms where friendly locals welcome you with warm smiles. The trail leads to the stunning Materuni Waterfall, one of the tallest in the Kilimanjaro region, cascading nearly 80 meters into a crystal-clear pool surrounded by tropical vegetation. Guests can take a refreshing dip or relax while enjoying the tranquil atmosphere and mountain views.
After the waterfall visit, you’ll head to a local coffee farm where you’ll learn every step of traditional coffee production — from bean picking and roasting to grinding and brewing — all done by hand using ancient Chagga methods. You’ll even get to roast and taste your own freshly brewed cup, a rich and aromatic experience that connects you directly to the roots of Tanzanian coffee culture.
This tour offers an ideal combination of adventure, cultural immersion, and relaxation, making it a favorite for day trips from Moshi or Arusha. Whether you’re seeking a scenic hike, a cultural encounter, or simply a peaceful day in the countryside, the Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Farm Tour with Wild Kings Africa provides an unforgettable experience in the heart of Kilimanjaro.
