I arrived at Chimbo Point as a tourist and left as a member of this family
The coffee ceremony was genuine, not a tourist performance. Everyone was having a wonderful time and I had a delicious lunch there.
Innocent was really helpful, and Brian had endless stories to share about this place, his ancestors, the coffee, and farming practices on their plantation. He was very patient, courteous, and considerate during our hike to the waterfall.
It was a visit that lasted a long time that day but felt as fleeting as a dream.
If you’re truly looking for an authentic experience in the village of Materuni, this is really the place to be !

Great time with Inocente
Whole experience was great. We found Inocente and his place by accident. He was very welcoming and hospitable but he didn’t insist on us to buy anything, instead he told us about his family and ancestors. We book a tour with him for next day and we really liked it. It was interesting, vivid and we had a great time.
Operator response
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re truly happy that you found Innocent and had the opportunity to meet him and learn about his family, ancestors, and way of life.
It means a lot to us that you appreciated the warm and genuine welcome without feeling pressured to buy anything. We’re even more delighted that you decided to join us for the tour the following day and enjoyed the experience.
Thank you for your kind words and for choosing to spend time with us. It was a pleasure having you, and we hope to welcome you back to Materuni again someday!☕❤️

Wonderful Coffee expérience
We had an amazing experience visiting this family-run coffee plantation. It was much more than just a coffee tour—it was a fascinating journey through every single step of the coffee-making process, from the coffee trees and harvesting to roasting, grinding, and finally tasting the freshly brewed coffee.
Everything was explained with passion, and seeing the entire process from A to Z made the experience both incredibly impressive and highly educational. The warm, welcoming atmosphere made us feel like part of the family rather than simple visitors.
A special thank you to Brian and his family for their kindness, hospitality, and enthusiasm. If you’re visiting the Materuni area, this is an absolute must-do. Highly recommended!

Fun and engaging experience at the coffee plantation!
We had an amazing experience at the coffee plantation! Innocent and his team led us through a participatory workshop on making coffee- from harvest to brewing. Afterwards, we got to enjoy the coffee and sit down together for a delicious lunch. It was engaging and a lot of fun!

Must do near Moshi!
We had great fun making our own coffee. Full of energy from the cup of coffee, we started the hiking trek to the Materuni waterfalls. Amazing view and refreshing dip in the water! Innocent and his brothers were very friendly and taught us a lot about the local tribes, medicinal plants, farming on the Kilimanjaro slopes. Lunch was great. Highly recommend tour!

You can learn make and enjoy your coffee!
Good friendly people easy to communicate. Gave me some amount of coffee powder as a gift. The experience of making coffee from raw dry seeds was impressive.
