Materuni Village Walk, Waterfall and Coffee with Hot Local Lunch from Arusha or Moshi

This nine-hour day starts with a morning pick-up from Arusha, Moshi or Kilimanjaro Airport in an air-conditioned vehicle. The drive ends at Materuni, the last village before Kilimanjaro National Park, where a local guide takes over for a short village walk. The trail passes banana and coffee farms and small settlements before reaching Materuni Waterfalls, with time to stand in the mountain air and look. Back in the village, local farmers show how coffee is grown, harvested, prepared and roasted, and guests join in before drinking a freshly made cup. A hot lunch prepared in the village follows. In the late afternoon the vehicle returns to Moshi, Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport. Included are village entrance fees, a professional local guide, pick-up and drop-off from Arusha or Moshi, luggage storage during activities, drinking water, the guided hike and all activities. Alcoholic and extra drinks, tips for the guide and hosts, and personal expenses and souvenirs cost extra. Groups are small, with up to 15 travellers per booking, and guiding is in English. The village walk is moderate on uneven natural terrain, and the waterfall trail can be slippery, so hiking shoes are advised. Timings can shift with weather and road conditions.
