- Moshi - Start your day with a convenient hotel pickup in Moshi after breakfast. Meet your Local Guide, who will provide a brief tour overview and ensure you are well-prepared for the hike ahead.
Enjoy a scenic drive through Moshi town, the cultural and commercial center of the Kilimanjaro region. Travel along Uru road towards the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Along the way, experience the essence of everyday Tanzanian life — local markets, street vendors, and the local transport that keeps this vibrant city bustling.
- Materuni Waterfalls - Upon reaching Materuni Village, situated just 15 kilometers from Moshi town and one of the last authentic settlements before Kilimanjaro National Park, complete a quick registration and embark on a guided hike to the waterfall.
Your guide will bring the landscape to life, sharing the history, customs, and traditions of the Chagga tribe — the indigenous community that has inhabited these fertile slopes for centuries — along with insights into the remarkable flora and fauna of the Materuni area. The trail meanders through lush tropical rainforest, past coffee and banana farms, with ample opportunities to capture photos and videos of the stunning scenery.
Along the way, pass a local village bar where you can observe the traditional preparation of mbege, the renowned Chagga banana beer. Continue through the farms and arrive at the base of Materuni Waterfalls — one of the tallest waterfalls on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, cascading approximately 90 meters into a natural pool below.
- Materuni village | Chamecha Mana Culture Tourism - Next, venture into the heart of Materuni Village for a fully immersive, hands-on coffee experience. Walk through a working Arabica coffee farm and participate in every stage of the traditional process — from harvesting ripe coffee cherries and peeling the outer skin, to soaking, sun-drying, roasting, and grinding the beans, all accompanied by traditional Chagga songs performed by local community members.
At the end of the process, sit down to enjoy the very cup of coffee you helped create, using methods passed down through generations. After the coffee tour, the village mammas serve a traditional Chagga lunch prepared with fresh, locally grown, and organic ingredients. The meal is presented buffet-style in clay pots, featuring a colorful array of seasonal fruits, vegetables, and regional dishes that offer a genuine taste of highland Tanzanian cuisine.
- Chamechamanaculturetourism - Before returning to Moshi, take the opportunity to browse and purchase handmade souvenirs from local village artisans — a meaningful way to bring a piece of Materuni home. You can also sample the local banana beer, wine, or vodka as a final toast to an unforgettable day. Your guide then drives you back to your accommodation in Moshi, completing a full-circle journey into one of Tanzania’s most authentic and rewarding cultural experiences.
