Materuni-vandfald, kaffetur og Kikuletwa Hot Springs

I had such a lovely time with my guide Innocent (inno), or Mr Nissan man as he is known. We started with the hike to the waterfalls which was lovely and peaceful, I loved that we went early, then came back for the coffee experience which was incredible. Coffee is sooo good. Inno took so many pics for me which made it even better. The lunch was so yummy at this nice hut also, banana soup is delicious, along with all the other tasty local food. Innocent then drove me to the hot springs and I had a lovely time swimming and interacting with other tourists, while he waited patiently. Innocent was very knowledgeable of the area and shared lots of information, which was lovely. I would totally recommend innocent for your guide, he is also very funny and nothing was too much effort. Thanks legend.

Amazing experience, the food, the hiking, the coffee ritual. Ahsante for everything!!!

We've had a delightful day with our guide Eddie. He was very nice from the beginning, he was on time for the pick up, and we have also learnt a lot about the culture. I would highly recommend this activity.

This day trip was a fun experience and included a hike, interactive coffee making demonstration, coffee tasting and lunch. You will want to take some coffee (organically grown) home with you. I took my elderly father, not realizing the hike would be a bit much for him; however, the guide was helpful and patient as he needed to walk carefully and slowly over the rough terrain. This would be a fun family day trip for those wanting to experience a tribal village and support their coffee enterprise.

I did this experience as the final day of my 8 day safari itinerary and it was a wonderful way to wrap up my trip. All of this was arranged through Safari Soles, the team there is amazing. Adelina did a fantastic job designing the activities and stays for my trip. She was able to answer all of my questions quickly and clearly. My guide for this Experience was named Innocent. He did an amazing job getting me around and communicating clearly with me in order to arrange pickup. Innocent has a fantastic personality and was also knowledgeable about the area and activities we were doing. Where he really did a good job was making me feel comfortable and safe throughout the day. He was extremely trustworthy and well equipped to handle all of the roads on this journey. I had a fantastic day with him and hope to see him one day on a future safari as a guide.

My Driver / Guide (Beny) was so amazing. He spoke and understood English very well. He told me all about the different tribe's / regions. I'm a solo traveler this trip and it was just me and the guilde. The hike was easy but if it was to rain 🌧️ (it didn't on my trip) it would make it a lot more difficult (for the car all dirt roads and the hiking) The waterfall was amazing and well worth the hike (the energy it creates was so magical) The drive are about 2 hours to the waterfall and 2 hours from the waterfall to the hot springs. The hot springs are beautiful and the water is crystal clear but the water is not hot.

We had an excellent visit to the waterfall and hot springs with Safari Soles. The hike and coffee tour were very enjoyable. The people working at the coffee kitchen were very friendly and good fun. The hike was great. The hot springs is very cool but there are a lot of people there trying to rent / sell things to you. Thankfully our guide warned us of this before so we knew what to expect. Our guide Innocent from Safari Soles was brilliant. He went above and beyond to ensure that we had a good day. He was kind, patient and helpful throughout the day and taught us a lot about the area and Kilimanjaro. Assante Innocent!

I have nothing but positive things to say about this experience! We were a family of 6 ranging in age from 12 to 70 years!! Starting off with our incredible guides, Innocent and Benson: they took great care of us and were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and a true pleasure to spend the day with. They both were expert drivers on the very bumpy roads! The hike to the waterfall was wet and muddy but not too difficult if you took care with your steps. The provided rain boots were a must unless you have your own hiking boots. The coffee experience was delightful to the mind and palate! It was a great learning and cultural adventure. Lunch provided amazing food for vegetarians. The hot springs were a great end to a long day.

Our experience on this trip with Innocent and Benson was incredible. Our family ages range from 12 to 70 and the guides accommodated each of us with patience and grace. They genuinely cared about our well-being and happiness. They had rain boots on the ready, water, drinks for the ride, and helped navigate us in a slow and calm way. We spent a long day traveling to various sites and enjoyed a number of cultural experiences. Our guides were quick to answer our questions and seemed to know about everything we asked. It was truly a wonderful experience for our whole family.

The weather had been rainy and moved to heavy mist. I was wearing hiking boots, but should have rented rubber boots. The traction on the narrow red clay trails was treacherous. I fell several times. My daughter continued to the beautiful waterfall,while I stayed at the coffee plantation. Everyone was exceedingly kind.
