Overview

Experience two of northern Tanzania’s most beautiful natural wonders in one unforgettable day with a coffee tour.

Begin your adventure with a scenic trek to Materuni Waterfall, an 80-meter cascade hidden in the lush rainforest at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Along the trail, you’ll learn about local plants, Chagga traditions, and the vibrant culture of the mountain communities.

After soaking in the beauty of Materuni, return to Materuni village for a coffee tour, learning about the coffee process from bean to cup. You will also have a traditional Chagga lunch in the village.

Next you will go to the crystal-clear Chemka Hot Springs — a warm, turquoise oasis fed by underground streams. Relax, swim, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings as you unwind in this natural haven.
