Experience Tanzania through its nature, people, food and traditions. Travel in a small group with local guides, explore Materuni village at the foot of Kilimanjaro, walk to its beautiful waterfall, learn how Tanzanian coffee is traditionally made and enjoy a fresh local lunch.

    Your day begins with a morning pick-up from Arusha or Moshi, followed by a scenic drive towards the green foothills and Last village before Kilimanjaro National park - The village of Materuni. Once we arrive, we’ll meet our local guide and begin a short village walk through the surrounding countryside. The trail takes us through lush vegetation, banana and coffee farms and small local communities before reaching Materuni Waterfalls. Take some time to enjoy the scenery, fresh mountain air and the beautiful waterfall before walking back to the village. Coffee Experience & Local Lunch Back in Materuni, we’ll slow down and discover how coffee is traditionally grown, harvested, prepared and roasted by local farmers. You’ll have the chance to take part in the process and of course, enjoy a freshly prepared cup of Tanzanian coffee. After the coffee experience, enjoy a fresh local lunch prepared in the village, with time to relax and experience the warm hospitality of the local community.
