Most memorable tour
Charles the guide took me on one of the most challenging hikes up to the Materuni Waterfalls. It had unfortunately rained the previous night and so the path up and down the mountains was very wet and slippery. However Charles guided me throughout the whole hike there and back, holding my hand whenever I needed help, carrying my handbag and explaining everything I needed to know and answering all my questions. He’s very intelligent, professional and knowledgeable. I was very lucky to have him as my guide. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide, bless him! Highly recommend this company and this particular guide - Charles! Thank you so much Charles for a most amazing and memorable tour.

Coffee is life
A truly unique experience for coffee and nature lovers. The guide, Kelvin, was very friendly and explained all the cultural details. The group that welcomed us for the coffee experience was very fun, cheerful, and friendly. Lunch was fantastic. One of the best coffee and nature experiences we've ever had on a trip.

Charles, Mr. Coffee, local music, and Kilimanjaro View
We booked the waterfalls and coffee tour, but modified it to be only the coffee tour because of our flight time. It ended up being one of the most fun experiences ever! At the local plantation, the host (Mr. Coffee) showed us the entire process…from roasting to grinding to brewing and tasting. He made it lively and interactive with music and dancing, which kept the whole experience full of energy and joy.
Charles was our guide (we had toured Moshi City with him the evening before), and it was wonderful to continue the conversation with someone so intelligent and knowledgeable. His insight added so much depth to the day. He also wrote a children’s book, which was amazing, he even gave us three copies to share with my nieces and nephews. I highly recommend you ask him about this book; it’s about safari life, the animals you see, and how they live. It was very insightful, and super fun to read.
To top it off, Mount Kilimanjaro 🏔️ stood right in front of us as we made our way to the plantation, giving us some unforgettable photo opportunities. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, highly recommended if you want to immerse yourself in local culture while enjoying fresh, delicious coffee ☕️
Operator response

Unforgettable Days with Charles – Culture, Nature, and the Best Coffee Experience
We had an amazing experience with this tour!
Our guide Charles was absolutely fantastic – very friendly, relaxed, and incredibly empathetic. He really listened to our wishes and needs and made sure we felt comfortable the entire time. We also had great and engaging conversations with him about Tanzanian culture and everyday life, and he patiently answered all of our questions.
The organization of the trip was top-notch. We visited a beautiful waterfall, enjoyed a fascinating coffee tour with a lively live demo full of singing and great atmosphere – and, of course, delicious coffee at the end. Lunch with the locals was honestly the best meal we had during our entire stay in Tanzania. The visit to the Moshi market gave us yet another authentic glimpse into local culture and was truly impressive.
As a bonus, when we realized we didn’t have the right charger for our camera, Charles even helped us find the right one in town – which saved our safari later on!
All in all, we can wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Thank you, Charles, for making our days so memorable!
Operator response
Jambo Elke! We are absolutely thrilled by your wonderful feedback!

Wonderful Day in the Kilimanjaro Foothills!!
Spent a wonderful day in the Kilimanjaro foothills walking, talking and learning with Charles. Charles is extremely knowledgeable about Chagga traditions and very easy to spend time with. It was like a walk with an old friend! We went on a waterfall hike and a coffee tour that included a delicious home prepared local lunch. Highly recommend for a day experience in Moshi!

Wonderful tour of Moshi highlights
Charles was the best guide. He picked me up even after I gave him the wrong hotel. We hiked to the waterfall, did a coffee tour with the Chaga, had lunch in the Materuni village, toured Moshi town. Charles’s English was fabulous and he is a great driver.
His wife is one of a few female safari guides in Tanzania. I learned so much about Moshi.
I was in town for the half marathon and Charles even took me for barbecue after the race and transported me to my next accommodation. I highly recommend the tour and more!
