Materuni-Wasserfälle und Kaffeetour

A great day trip before my Kili climb. So nice to get close with the locals at the coffee tour. Great experience with my guide Mangi!

Actually this trip to the waterfall was part of a package trip. The coffee plantation was on the way to the waterfall. 2 days later I was asked for $80.00 to cover the coffee plantation visit, as was another in person in the group. This was a surprise to both of us. Now t I see in the posting that the waterfall and coffee plantation visit total is $70. I feel cheated for not being told upfront of the extra change now by seeing the add for both $70 Hmmm It was a wonderful experience but I do feel taken advantage of.

Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Tour We had an amazing hike with Jackson from Kili Footprints, he is charismatic and genuine and a powerful communicator, he has In-depth knowledge and a whole lot of passion. A tour to Materuni Village and Waterfalls with Jackson is a great way to spend a day away from the bustle of town life. This very impressive Waterfall is one of the tallest in the area, spewing crystal-clear glacier water. Materuni village is at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. It is worth the trip; the scenic view of Moshi Town and Mount Kilimanjaro is astonishing. This green village with fresh air from green vegetations welcomes visitors to explore the beauty of the land and the cultural heritage of the Chagga people. The tour starts with a walk to Materuni Waterfall. It is an opportunity to see how local fruit like avocados, mangos, lemons, and bananas grow, as well as learn some of the local history, traditions, village economy, agricultural and cultural life. The tour will continue with a visit to the local village lying in the coffee plantations. The villagers will demonstrate the process of coffee farming and guide you through the preparation of coffee from a bean to a cup. Sing and dance along with the Chaga people as they are grinding, roasting and boiling the beans.

Jackson was amazing. So knowledgeable, friendly and very patient with me (I probably should not have gone. Bad knees, bad back, bad combo! But my daughter had a great time!) I appreciated his pep talks! Kili is stunning. The waterfall was outstanding and the coffee demonstration was cool and fascinating. Absolutely beautiful country. I highly recommend this tour, especially with Jackson!

We also spent time and did some fantasticate drive around Kilimanjaro National Park. Our guide was so helpful and very informative! Thanks a lot, to him, we didn’t miss any moment. We got more than we expected! We will never forget these fantastic tour journey! We got unforgettable memories and of course we will get back to you soon!

Unforgettable experience! Jackson is a great person, ready to serve, bring his best and make you feel like a local. He was able to solve all kind of questions and needs along the journey. Thank you, Jackson! For sure will repeat!

Close to home, but you felt faraway immersed in nature—beautiful path, clean, and not crowded at all. Jackson was there for us he organize a memorable adventure with multiple activities during our stay in Tanzania from bike ride, hike and night experience around Moshi and Arusha.

Jackson is a wonderful guide, a diligent driver, a very caring person who made a thoughtful lunch box just from knowing me (the client) for a few hours. I would recommend his business to anyone at anytime. He did a phenomenal job although booked last minute. A very professional guide, true to his words, done best job in capturing as much as he is very knowledgable. Wish you all the best!!
