   8h · Admission ticket included
   . Located in the picturesque foothills of Kilimanjaro, Materuni has managed to retain its authentic edge over some of the other tourist attractions as it is not one of the routes for climbing Kilimanjaro. Once you reach the village you will start your coffee tour at a traditional Chagga ‘shamba’ (farm). Here your guide will explain all aspects of the Chagga homestead including the other crops that they grow aside from coffee. You will get to see how the coffee is produced- from picking the bean to roasting and then drinking a delicious cup yourself. Following your coffee tour, you will then take a short hike (make sure to wear some good shoes as it can be muddy up there), passing through local villages to reach the waterfalls. Here you will either have a picnic lunch box or arrive at a full spread of freshly cooked lunch prepared for you. Following lunch, you will have the opportunity to take a dip in the refreshing (quite cold!) pools beneath the waterfalls.

There are shallows sometimes tinged pink with thousands of flamingos.

The spectacular Ngurdoto Crater, enclose a wide marshy floor dotted with herds of buffalo and warthog.
