A great trip, very nice guide who provided us with a lot of good information. The path to the waterfall was very slippery and partly steep. The nature is beautiful, almost jungle-like feeling. The waterfall is also impressive. The local cuisine was very flavorful, and the information about coffee harvesting and roasting with tasting was also very good.
Highly recommended excursion. The waterfalls are beautiful and the natural surroundings are spectacular. The traditional food was delicious, and the explanation of how coffee is made was very interesting and authentic. Many thanks to our guide, Willian, for his kindness and for making the experience even more special. An experience of 10! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Perfect! I recommande... Beautiful view
After a drive to the Materuni waterfall, we had the pleasure of learning about coffee roasting, its harvest and origin. A rewarding experience, with Noel, our guide for this getaway. A culture that never ceases to amaze and amaze us. An idyllic setting, which allows us to forget our sometimes too fast life. Thank you very much for this experience and this impressive view of the surrounding nature
An amazing walk to waterfall and coffee making experience and hot meal a real treat. William was a fantastic guide knowledgeable and good fun. I highly recommend him and the tour
Wonderful, interesting, definitely do it.
We had a very good and interesting tour with Noel today. I can really recommend to go on this tour. He can tell you a lot about agriculture, the the plantation and is also a good photographer ;) The coffee and food was good as well!
We did three activities with Materuni Village Experience and this was our favorite. Everything was organized very well, our guide Sylvester really super, one of the best (if you can ask for him). I highly recommend!
Great little trip from Moshi as a warm up to Kilimanjaro. Beautiful walk through lush vibrant rainforest to a stunning waterfall. Learnt lots about the people, culture and environment. Thoroughly enjoyed the delicious traditional lunch and making and drinking coffee with the locals was really fun. The guys are great singers, dancers and photographers too!
We had an absolutely amazing time on our tour! If you are visiting the area, I highly recommend booking this experience. A huge thank you to our lead guide, Sylvester, and our co-guide, Dennis, for making the day so memorable. They were both fantastic hosts who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Highlights of the Day: Materuni Village: The hike to the waterfall was beautiful, followed by a delicious, authentic lunch. Coffee Experience: We loved learning about the coffee plantation. Getting to roast our own beans and drink the coffee fresh and hot was a unique highlight. Personal Touches: Sylvester even let us make guacamole from fresh avocados, which was such a fun (and tasty) addition to the day! Chemka Hot Springs: A perfect way to relax after the hike. Sylvester also helped us pick out and buy fresh corn and mangoes to enjoy, which were incredible. Thank you, Sylvester and Dennis, for such a wonderful day. Don't hesitate to do this tour!
