Materuni Waterfall

Tucked away in the fertile foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, the tranquil village of Materuni offers an authentic glimpse into the daily life, culture, and nature of the indigenous Chagga people. Located just outside Moshi town, this lush green paradise is defined by rolling banana farms, fragrant coffee plantations, and cool mountain air.

Your excursion begins with a guided trek through terraced mountain trails, passing local homesteads and tropical flora while learning about Chagga history and traditional irrigation systems. The trail leads directly to the magnificent Materuni Waterfall—a towering 90-meter cascade dropping into a clear mountain pool where brave travelers can take a refreshing swim. Conclude your hike with a hands-on organic coffee-making experience: roast, grind, and brew your own cup of fresh Kilimanjaro Arabica coffee accompanied by traditional Chagga songs and a hot local meal.
