Immerse yourself in the breathtaking natural beauty of Mount Kilimanjaro exploring the Materuni Waterfalls located at the foot of the volcano. Truly captivating! Around 20 -30 minutes outside of Moshi are Materuni waterfalls. As this trip is so close by it is ideal for those people with limited time but who would still like to see some of nature and beauty that this region of Tanzania has to offer. These falls are smaller than Ndoro, but still pretty impressive at 150 meters high and a sight worth seeing.
We'll pick you up from your hotel in Arusha at 9:30 am and set off on the short twenty-minute drive to the village of Materuni, located in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. Accompanied by an English-speaking guide, we'll embark on a hiking route to the Materuni Waterfalls. The trail, which is around an hour-long, will take us through lush green vegetation and past the houses of the Chaga people who live here, one of the largest ethnic groups in Tanzania. During your trek, your guide will tell you all about the Chaga way of life. On reaching the waterfall, you'll be left speechless by the sheer size of the falls. You'll have the opportunity here to enjoy a refreshing dip in the natural pool below.
We'll take a break at midday to eat our picnic lunch, and then once we've restored our energy levels we'll walk over to a nearby coffee plantation to learn all about this delicious locally grown product. From the bean to the cup, we'll see how natural coffee is roasted, and of course - you'll get to taste it too! At the end of the day, we'll return to the car and make the return journey to Moshi, where you'll be dropped back off at your hotel at around 5:30 pm.
When it comes to trekking and safari, Tanzania really does have it all. It is the kind of place which experienced safari and trekking hands could easily visit for or five times, but it also makes for a fantastic first-time Safari.
