Mt Kilimanjaro and coffee tour - This, by far was the BEST tour I've been on! I thought it would be the usual, tour, where they tell you about coffee,you might get to watch them do some processing, the usual. No! I actually got the history, AND got to actually do it! It was such an awesome experience! From grinding, to roasting, cooking the beans, and actually making coffee! I never knew I wanted to do this, but it was great! And the natural beauty of Mt Kilimanjaro, the waterfall - what can I say? An absolutely fabulous tour! I may have to come back to Moshi, just to have them take me on a safari! Trust me, you don't want to miss this, or any of their private tours!!!

Would definitely book again! - Charles went above and beyond to create a memorable experience for our first trip to Moshi! He was very knowledgeable on the culture and sights. We didn’t feel rushed at all when taking photos and spending time near the waterfalls after a very do-able hike. The coffee tour was fun and interactive, and we ended with a Moshi town tour where he even helped facilitate the purchase of a forgotten item! He made us feel instantly at ease, and is clearly passionate about what he does. We are so glad we booked a tour with Safari by Leo!

This tour is an unforgettable and awesome experience in my life! - This trip is guided by Charles from “Safari by Leo” (it’s a family owned safari and cultural tour based (small but beautiful) company owned by Leo and Charles). Our tour guide Charles is book of knowledge. He explained us the history, culture of different tribes in Tanzania especially Chagga tribe who predominantly live at the foothills of Kilimanjaro (by the way,Charles himself from Chagga tribe :)).
Actual tour is only Materuni water falls with coffe tour. But Charles loves his job so much and he wanted to give us more experience about Tanzania and he has additionally done guided tour and night life tour of Moshi town. I am quite convinced he is not doing this culture tour for money. It’s his passion to show Tanzania to tourists and explain its history to world! I highly recommend this tour and other cultural tours organised by Charles (Safari by Leo) to all tourists visiting Tanzania!
This tour is an unforgettable and awesome experience in my life! I wholeheartedly thank Charles and “Safari by Leo” for their passion and knowledge.

Amazing - It’s a small and very lovely family-company.
Charles showed as Materuni including waterfalls, coffee tour and local lunch. Later also we were guided through Moshi town. All of it was amazing. Charles had a lot of knowledge to share and also answered question from our side. Also you could easily conversate, it didn’t feel like being with a guide, but with a friend. I can highly recommend them and hope to see them again very soon!

Exceptional experience - We did the Materuni waterfalls and coffee experience with Charles as our guide and it exceeded all of our expectations.
Charles is a great guide, with a lot of patience and that cares for giving the best experiences contributing to local culture.
He was caring all the time and even took us to a typical place to have dinner.
We definitely recommend him.

Incredible Materuni village Day Tour - Hike to the waterfalls: Was beautifully arranged by my guide Charles who was simply awesome and amazing. Went to waterfalls which was spectacular! Later came back to the village for cultural tour which exposed me to the Chagga ways of life, nice local lunch and then I had remarkable coffee experience by learning how it is planted all until how it is processed. I had a cup of organic Arabica coffee.
I highly recommend this incredible Day Tour to Materuni village.
