MATERUNI WATERFALLS & COFFEE FARM EXPERIENCE

Materuni Waterfall is one of the waterfalls in the Mware River (Kilimanjaro Region, Northeast Tanzania). Located in the lush village of Materuni near Moshi on the edge of the Kilimanjaro mountain reserve, it is a stunning waterfall that cascades about 80 meters (262 feet) down into a pristine pool. The hike to the falls takes visitors through quiet villages and beautiful rainforest terrain with panoramic views of Kilimanjaro on a clear day, diverse plant life, and sightings of local wildlife. A visit to a coffee farm in the village of Materuni is often combined with the trip to the falls where visitors get to experience the local Chagga culture. The Chagga people, native to the Kilimanjaro region, are known for their traditional methods of coffee cultivation. During the tour, visitors are guided through the entire coffee-making process, from picking ripe beans to roasting and grinding them by hand. Participants can enjoy a fresh cup of home-grown coffee while learning about the deep cultural significance of coffee farming in the region. A day hike to Materuni Falls hike coupled with a visit to a coffee farm offer a mix of adventure, nature, and cultural engagement that provides an enriching experience for anyone exploring Tanzania. It allows visitors an unforgettable glimpse into Tanzania’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.
