THE EXPERIENCE
A village day in the Kilimanjaro foothills
Materuni sits above Moshi on the southern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. The day combines a guided walk through the village landscape, a visit to Materuni Waterfalls and a Chagga coffee experience that introduces how coffee is prepared locally.
The waterfall trail is uneven and moderately demanding. Comfortable shoes with grip help; tell us ahead of time if anyone in your group has mobility needs so we can discuss the route.
Pickup, activity order, fees and meal arrangements depend on your date and quote. These details will be confirmed in writing before you travel.
