About this experience
Escape into the lush green foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro for an unforgettable cultural and nature experience in Materuni Village. Hike through picturesque Chagga banana and coffee plantations to reach the stunning 80-meter-high Materuni Waterfall, where you can take a refreshing dip in the natural pool surrounded by rainforest foliage. Afterwards, participate in an authentic, hands-on Chagga coffee-making workshop—from roasting raw beans over an open fire to grinding them while singing traditional songs—ending with a fresh cup of organic coffee and a delicious home-cooked local lunch.
