Beautiful waterfall! Coffee tour with Adam from lion King adventures was amazing!
Great tour with Noel. Beautiful surroundings, great food and nice coffee experience. Noel made the tour extra special because of his great photography skills and his knowledge. Thanks from the family from NL!
Sephania was our personal guide for the waterfall tour. He was amazing and explained everything about the village and the culture. He also guided us in the traditional coffee preparation, which was fantastic! We also sang and danced all together! Highly recommended
Excellent- Mangi was awesome!
Had a great time on my tour today! Sephania was a fun guide. It was such a great way to spend my first morning in Tanzania.
Beautiful landscape and nice experience making our own coffee with our wonderful guide Hashim. Excellent lunch as well !
It was an incredible, captivating experience. My guide, Anold, explained and showed me all the plants used by the tribe in detail. We found several magnificent chameleons. My dietary needs were also carefully considered. The coffee plantation tour was a dream come true. Thank you so much 🙏🏼🥹 P. S. When it rains, it gets very muddy, so it's best to bring extra shoes and a raincoat ☺️
Materuni Village Experience is situated in the most beautiful setting. It really took my breath away as I rounded the corner into the compound. I felt like I could live in this corner of the world forever! Lunch was delicious and with a wonderful view, and coffee making with the locals was great fun - it was certainly very satisfying to drink my own tasty handmade coffee! My guide for the experience was Aviti. After lunch, he took me on a short hike through the village to the waterfalls (a must see!), regaling me with stories about life in the village and patiently answering my endless questions about the vegetation and landscapes. Aviti was earnest and full of life, eager to show me his country, and it was one of the most informative and enjoyable conversations I’ve had in Tanzania. He even took the initiative to adjust our return route slightly so he could show me some of the things we had spoken about. I highly recommend him for a value-added experience!
Noela was fabulous! Made it fun and very informative!
Excursion done with a friend who is a guide from Moshi, too bad about the fog, but everything was beautiful, from the coffee village, where we had lunch on the way back, to the landscape...
