Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee Tour — Day Trip from Moshi

Materuni is what most Kilimanjaro travelers miss. Just 30 km from Moshi, this Chagga village sits at 1,500m on Kilimanjaro's slopes — where the rainforest begins and the mountain reveals itself between the trees. The 2-hour round-trip hike passes through banana groves, coffee farms, and montane forest before the Materuni Waterfall drops 80 metres into a natural plunge pool.

The second half of the day is spent at a working coffee farm: picking cherries, hand-pulping the beans, sun-drying, roasting over an open fire, and finally drinking a cup of single-origin Arabica coffee in the village that grew it. No experience like this exists in a supermarket. It's one of the most-reviewed day trips in Northern Tanzania for good reason.
