Itinerary
Materuni is the home of the Chagga tribe and is still an authentic tribal village. This charming place is just 15km away from Moshi Town and is the last village before the Kilimanjaro National Park. First you will visit the waterfalls, which are around a 40-minute walk away. On the way, trail can be slippery & muddy best to have good hiking boots. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. When you reach the waterfalls, you will see that they are more than 80 meters high. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for a refreshing swim so don‘t forget your swimwear! After having enjoyed the scenery, you slowly return with your guide to Materuni village, where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. You also will have the opportunity to taste our local banana beer – definitely not to be missed! Tip: Chagga tribesmen are Tanzania’s finest brewers
But that’s not all. Next the coffee experience awaits you. Here you will learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted and further processed. You will also be invited to help with the grinding of the coffee, which is traditionally accompanied by Chagga songs and dances - a fun way to immerse yourself in the local culture. Before you say goodbye, you can savor the coffee you made and appreciate the views of the surrounding rainforest.
After the coffee tour in Materuni your trip continues to the Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The ride to the hot springs takes about an hour and 20 minutes and leads partly over bumpy slopes Enjoy a wonderful afternoon in just the way you want, in the sun dozing, chatting with the locals at the small bar, or swimming - you determine the course. We leave the hot springs in the late afternoon (just before sunset) and return relaxed to your hotel in Arusha or Moshi. Note: have swimming wear & towels

This private tour to Materuni Waterfalls and Kikuletwa Hot Springs was absolutely fantastic! Nasrie, my guide, was knowledgeable, flexible, and kind—he made the entire day feel smooth, fun, and personalized. (He was also a very safe driver.) The hike to the waterfall was stunning, the coffee tour was both educational and interactive (plus the coffee was delish!), and relaxing in the hot springs was the perfect way to end the day. I truly enjoyed every moment and highly recommend this tour, especially with Nasrie as your guide! Also, shoutout to Pazuri Africa tours, as I organized this at the last minute and they were very responsive and were willing to drop me directly at the airport at the end of the day.
Thank you so much Bonnie for choosing pazuri africa safaris for your private tour to materuni. We are glad you had a great time with Nasrie. We are looking forward to organize your next safari with a lot of fun. Thank you again!
Nasri was great! He helped my mother in law down to the falls. He took pictures at the Chagga coffee plantation, and cleaned the mud off our shoes at the hot springs.
Thank You so much Heather_R. It was pleasure to have you guys and enjoy your private tour to Materuni waterfalls and get a good experience of coffee plantations!
