Experience in nature - Our trip to the Marangu Waterfalls was great! Great Image Expedition managed the whole trip so well that we didn't have to worry at all. We were picked up from our hotel on time in the morning and were able to enjoy nature, history and local culture throughout the day. The guide was very friendly and shared stories of history and nature throughout the trip. We walked along the fountain, tasted the local cuisine, and experienced the cultivation of coffee. Spending a day like this on the slopes of Kilimanjaro is truly unforgettable.

Coffee, stories and a slice of adventure. - I thought I would just go to see the waterfall, but after coming here, I realized that Marangu means many things - culture, coffee, mountain trails and people's laughter. Sitting in the homes of the Chagga people, listening to their stories, tasting the local cuisine, and finally sitting alone by the waterfall - it was all heartwarming. At the end of the day, it seemed that this trip was not only about nature, but also about learning from people.
