A Wonderful Day In Moshi! - The tour was amazing! My guide John was very kind, friendly and great to spend the day with! He was knowledgeable and shared a load of information about the waterfalls, plants, fruits and all kind of aspects of the jungle surrounding Materuni Waterfall. I really enjoyed the coffee tour, the experience of cultivating and creating my own coffee with the group was something I'll never forget! Go coffee Boys 😅 The lunch and food amazing, the waterfall was epic and due to the rains during this time of year, it was going off! I got to meet the owner of Tarry, Peter and spent some time speaking to both John and Peter after the tour. Both are very amazing individuals 👏 This is definitely a tour company I suggest people to book with! Their kindness, knowledge, hospitality and overall enjoyment of their work speaks volumes. THANK YOU for making my time in Moshi so memorable! The have a great little shop called Mama Africa Gift shop too - check it out if you get the chance!

An incredible day - Perfect organization by our host, the Materuni waterfall is incredible and the path to get there offers breathtaking panoramas. The meeting with the coffee-producing family at lunch will remain memorable for their kindness, their sympathy and their smiles. We recommend with your eyes closed.

Great! - We had a fun day with Peter at the Waterfall and doing the Coffee excursion. Peter told us a lot about the nature and plans. The coffee excursion was interesting, too. We learned a lot about how coffee is grown and produced. The food and coffee (of course) was amazing as well. Would definitely recommend. :)

Best experience around Arusha - I have done the Materuni waterfalls & coffee excursion + Hotsprings in the afternoon and I have to say the experience has been absolutely amazing: Peter, the owner, has a client-centered approach, trying to understand your needs and adapting the offer to your requirements; he does not try to sell you something else as long as you don't ask, virtue that is not abundant in Tanzania. The Materuni waterfalls were absolutely amazing and worth seeing; in the way back, there is a place were you stop to learn about coffee producing process, were a group of local coffee makers will drive you on how the coffee is produced in a practical way: you will produce your own cup of coffee. We then drove to the Hotsprings to take a dip in the magnificent pools. 100% recommended

Great experience! - I booked the trip via the Union Cafe, as I found it in Lonely Planet (I'm travelling solo btw). The pictures here show basically exactly what you get. A hike through beautiful nature over a small clay path to the waterfall, after which you end up in the village. There, I got some small explanation about the coffee and we went through the entire process of going from a dried bean to a delicious cup of coffee. For me, this was the best part, with handling the mortar and pestle myself, accompanied by african singing. After, I got a big lunch (together with the local guys who I also had a nice chat with) and tasted some local banana beer. Of course, I also bought a bag if coffee for them. All in all, a great recommendation!

Happy I went on this tour - I got the contact from Union Café who called Peter to come and talk to me. It was easy to arrange the trip for the next day. My guide Eli and the driver Joseph came to pick me up just a few minutes later than agreed. I got bottled water and we drove to Materuni where we hiked for about 30 minutes to the waterfall. My guide explained to me about the coffee union and coffee plantations and told me about several NGOs working for good cause which I really appreciated. We came along really well and I could ask anything about Tanzania. After the waterfall, we drove a few minutes down the road and went to the coffee place where we first had an amazing lunch (mostly vegan, just one dish with meat!), then got some information about the coffee beans, then learned to husk the beans, saw how the beans were roasted, then were ground. We then had the coffee and the trip was over!
