Materuni Waterfalls & Chemka Hotsprings Day Trip
Description
This magnificent waterfall, one of the tallest in the region, cascades crystal-clear glacial water from a height of 70 meters into its basin. The scenic path to Materuni Waterfall, situated 2500 meters above sea level, winds through valleys and hills shrouded in tropical rainforest, alongside coffee, banana, and avocado "shambas"—the Kiswahili term for farms. After enjoying a local lunch, you will depart for the Chemka Hot Springs. We will pick you up from Materuni post-lunch and transport you to the Chemka Hot Springs. The journey to the Hot Springs is on a very bumpy and winding road, making the drive last over 40 minutes. Upon arrival at the Hot Springs, you have the opportunity to swim, unwind, have your lunch, and bask in the sunshine. Should you wish, we can prepare a barbecue for you while you swim. For groups booking this tour with more than 10 participants, a reasonable discount is offered per group.

We had an amazing day! Our tour guide Jonny was the best, we shared a lot of laughs and he gave us many new information. We started the day by hiking to the Materuni Waterfall, then went to see how coffee is made, had a traditional lunch and finished with visiting the hot springs. Would recommend 10/10

After a Great safari experience we decided on a day tour. We visited the large art gallery first, which was impressive. We then did a Coffee tour which took us from the fields through the entire process. Very neat and informative. The meal was delicious and the coffee very good. Karibu coffee farm was great. Johnny was our guide and he was very good. He went above and beyond. He even took us to the Maasi market to shop for local gifts. Recommend.

Interesting tour of coffee garden, whole life cycle of growth, harvest, process, ending with tasting fresh ground and roasted coffee. Included lunch which was excellent. Stopped at Art Gallery before and and the Maasi market afterwards. Johnny, our host and driver, was wonderful and accommodating.
Thank you for the perfect rating! We’re honoured to have been part of your Tanzania safari and wish you many more great adventures ahead.
We had an amazing one-day tour to Materuni Waterfalls and the Chemka Hot Springs, and a big part of that was thanks to Johnny. He was super attentive throughout the entire day, made sure everything went smoothly, and shared so many interesting facts about local culture and life in Tanzania, which made the experience even more special. We also had an excellent guide during the hike to Materuni Waterfalls — very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. The coffee experience was wonderful and so much fun, and the Chagga local lunch was absolutely delicious. Everything was well organized, and we truly enjoyed every moment. Highly recommend this tour!
The trip was great. I really enjoyed having a cold refreshing shower inside of this great waterfall, it feels like cleaning Your soul. The coffee tour part was also very interesting so You learn how the coffee is grown and prepared and the coffee itself was so tasty I drank 5 cups :)
Thank you for the great review! It was our pleasure to make your safari unforgettable. We hope your memories of Tanzania last a lifetime.
