Waterfall/coffee Tour ✨✨✨ - This was a great way to experience local more of a local experience before our big trek. I am currently here with Women Who Explore, it was amazing! The hike to the waterfall is actually short, the waterfall is massive, lunch was plentiful, and the COFFEE... oooof! Amazing experience! Very festive!

nice experience in Materuni - Nice experience in the land of coffee in Materuni, Kilimanjaro area, where our guide Noel took us to the waterfalls of Materuni, a walk with medium/low difficulty and then good traditional food in Materuni Village, with the demonstration of the coffee process, and to finish a delicious cup of coffee. Joel our guide is very friendly and knows the terrain very well, and was explaining many plants as well as their use. Asante Sana!

Recommended - First we could enjoy the beautiful views of Kilimanjaro from Materuni Homes. Then we made the excursion to the waterfall, spectacular. We even dared to take a bath! After the tour we were taught the whole process of how to make coffee and finally we enjoyed a rich meal. Our guide was Sylvester and we couldn't have more luck. Thanks for the jokes, the Swahili lessons and for showing us around. We'd repeat! Healthy asante Aleix and Laura

Atmospheric place! - A very atmospheric place! This is where you taste real organic coffee. Guide Noel tells us a lot of interesting information about coffee varieties, growing and cooking methods. Next, you will participate in a cooking ritual with national songs and dances. And from here, you have a beautiful view of the snows of Kilimanjaro. Recommend a visit

BEST DAY EVER WITH NOELLA - I decided to do this trip on my birthday and we got so lucky, not only was the waterfall so much bigger and better than expected, we also had the absolutely best tour guide accompanying us. Noella went the extra mile (not literally) to make this day perfect for me and my boyfriend. She explained us everything in great detail, took really sweet photos of us whenever we wanted and it was really her who made this day even more perfect than it already was! The coffee making process and lunch were also beyond amazing! Thank you for everything, we definitely will recommend this to friends and family!

Materuni day - We had a day to kill before we climbed Kilimanjaro so our Alteeza travel advisor Denis suggested the Materuni village experience. We met our Guide, Noel , near the village and off we went. First off was a nice 1 hr hike to the beautiful Materuni waterfall. Along the way Noel gave us the history of his area plus some local flora and fauna info. After the waterfall we went to the coffee plantation and had a wonderful experience helping to process the local Arabica beans to the best cup of coffee I ever had. This was followed by a delicious traditional Tanzanian lunch that we shared with Noel and Pascale (Alteeza driver) We only post our most positive travel experiences on Trip Advisor and this was one of them. Noel was a wonderful guide and the experience felt authentic. We left our hotel at 0900 and returned at 1500 so a perfect day. Go and enjoy!
