Materuni Waterfalls is one of the most beautiful natural attractions on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. Set within a lush Chagga village just outside Moshi, the waterfall drops dramatically from high cliffs into a cool, clear natural pool surrounded by dense green vegetation.
The walk to Materuni is peaceful and scenic, passing through banana plantations, coffee farms, small villages, and rolling hills with stunning views of Kilimanjaro on clear days. The air is fresh, the sound of flowing water grows louder as you approach, and the final reveal of the waterfall is always unforgettable.
Everyday Safaris takes travelers to Materuni for a full cultural and nature experience—ideal for couples, families, groups, and anyone looking to enjoy a relaxing day away from town.
The trail is gentle and refreshing, winding through banana fields, streams, and green hills. Your guide will share stories about the area, the Chagga people, and the local plants.
The water is cold but incredibly refreshing, especially for climbers recovering from Kilimanjaro or travelers looking for a natural adventure.
Materuni village is famous for its coffee farms. Visitors can pick, grind, and roast beans the traditional Chagga way—ending with a fresh cup of rich, hand-brewed coffee.
Many tours include a homemade Chagga lunch featuring dishes like banana stew, rice, vegetables, and fresh fruit. Simple, delicious, and authentic.
Every step of the journey has something to capture: landscapes, farmland, waterfalls, and village life.
Meet local farmers, learn traditional songs during the coffee process, and experience genuine Chagga hospitality.
