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.

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.
