Incredible Africa and Octavian are the best tourist guides we met on our over 3 weeks trip to Tanzania and Zanzibar. We took 2 trips: Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Springs. On the first trip we saw the waterfall, as well as spent a few lovely hours with the Chagga tribe members. Octavian organized a great coffee preparation show: from fresh, raw coffee beans to splendid cups of coffee. Then we had a fresh lunch in the village: delicious and prepared by the village people themselves. We tried local dishes, including a volcano ash soup. Everything was incredibly fresh and tasty. Overall, the atmosphere during the trip was pleasant, relaxed and very autentic. We are grateful to Octavian from Incredible Africa for such caring, honest and client-focused approach.

What a wonderful day trip
We booked this trip on Viator and Incredible Africa Adventures did the best for us, we hiked to Materuni waterfalls and we had a beautiful local coffee tour. Our guide was just one of a kind, an excellent communicator in both English and Swahili, knowledgeable and friendly. The place has beautiful scenery and an amazing landscape where you can view Moshi town from above. This is one of the activity you can do with Incredible Africa Adventures when in Moshi.

Absolutely incredible. Ahsante sana marafiki.
