Highlights
  • Materuni Waterfalls - Materuni is the home of the Chagga tribe and is still an authentic tribal village. This charming place is just 15km away from Moshi Town and is the last village before the Kilimanjaro National Park.

First you will visit the waterfalls, which are around a 40-minute walk away. On the way, trail can be slippery & muddy best to have good hiking boots. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck you will see the summit of
Kilimanjaro. When you reach the waterfalls, you will see that they are more than 80 meters high. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for a refreshing swim so don’t forget your swimwear!

After having enjoyed the scenery, you slowly return with your guide to Materuni village, where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. You also will have the opportunity to taste our local banana beer – definitely not to be missed!

Tip: Chagga tribesmen are Tanzania’s finest brewers

highly recommended - We had a great day with Safari Soles. The landscape, the waterfall, the insights into village life and the traditional coffee preparation are definitely worth a visit. The springs are perfect for bathing and you can watch monkeys in the trees. Our guide Eli made the day really special - he was punctual, reliable and always concerned about our well-being. He told us a lot about the culture and answered all of our questions. Eli knows all of the locals and it's like a friend showing you his home. We felt very comfortable and recommend asking Eli as a guide.

Experiencing Materuni Falls & coffee tour - We love Frank, as he is a warm, friendly, knowledgeable and conscientious tour guide. He made sure our safety & comfort came first. He helped all us senior citizens cross any difficult paths. He was a wealth of information and such fun to be with on our day excursion.

Fun and exciting day!! - We had an awesome time at this trip! Alex, our guide, was super nice and excited to show us around. The coffee tour was very interactive, the waterfalls were beautiful and we had a lot of fun jumping out the swing at the hotsprings. At the end, we got to see the beautiful Kilimanjaro, as the clouds went away. Such an amazing day. Super recommend! Worth every penny.

5 star trip to Manteruni - Baltazar is a very funny and friendly guide, he knows a lot about Arusha, plants, and so on… we had a really nice time on our trip with him and he always kept track of the time to make sure we would see everything and still have time to enjoy ourselves. Also he takes very nice photos and puts a lot of effort on them to make sure they’re good, also has very good taste in music.

A fun day out! - A fun day out. The hike to the waterfall wasn't too difficult, although I really appreciated Enock's help in places where the path was bit uneven. Coffee farm was very interesting. Delicious coffee and a tasty lunch too. I don't recommend the hot springs unless you really like wild swimming.
