Materuni Waterfalls & Coffee — Day Trip

A Chagga village on Kilimanjaro's lower slopes, a waterfall, and coffee you roast yourself.

A day on the lower southern slopes of Kilimanjaro in the Chagga village of Materuni: an hour's walk through banana and coffee plots to a waterfall, then the whole coffee process by hand — picking, husking, roasting, grinding and drinking it.

Highlights

  • A 90 m waterfall in the forest
  • The full coffee process, done by hand
  • Lunch in a Chagga home
  • The best short walk near Moshi
