The steep and rough road will take us to the Materuni village where we will have a chance to eat local food and rest. After that, a one kilometer walk will take us to the beautiful Materuni waterfalls where we will be able to swim, refresh and enjoy the afternoon.

Unique sporty experience - I did two tours with Said - to hot springs and to the waterfall. Both of them were fun and I learnt a lot during the trips about the local culture and nature. They take really good care and make sure it is a personal experience with great food!

An amazing cycling experience - A very nice one-day excursion from moshi village! We cycled from moshi village to the materuni waterfalls, which was a physical, but rewarding experience. After the ride, we explored the surroundings of the waterfalls and swum at the bottom of the waterfall, which was more than welcome after sweating to reach the top! The tour was perfectly organized by our guide Said and the bicycles were from high quality. I definitively recommend the excursion if you spend a few days in Moshi.

Awesome bike trip - Amazing experience with One Bike Tanzania! Our guide Hillary was very professionnal and made sure we were always comfortable. He has awesome mechanicals skills to make any little fix on the bicycles. If you want to discover region of Kilimanjaro, I definitely recommend to have a ride trip with One Bike. The landsapes are beautiful and it was not crowded at all when we were there. Good to know : it's possible to customize a tour depending on your free time, it was perfect for me and price was really attractive

Waterfall cycle - I have now done two cycling trips with one bike, one to the hot springs and one to the waterfall. Both were amazing trips!
Went to the waterfall with said and Agnes who were wonderful guides and very patient with our slow cycling! Visited the waterfall and coffee tour - couldn’t have asked for a better trip!

Good exercise in wonderful nature - Ride up to Materuni village is almost hill climb, it was tough but very nice exercise.
You park your bike at community center and walk around 30 mins for the waterfall.
If you have sandals for swimming I recommend to carry it, because stones and rocks in water fall pool is bit edgy.
You can able to get coffee tour as option, but coffee in the tour was too much roasted, the taste of coffee is like a charcoal.
