Tour Overview
Materuni, home to the Chagga tribe, remains an authentic tribal village just 15 km from Moshi Town and serves as the last stop before entering Kilimanjaro National Park. Your adventure begins in Moshi, where an English-speaking guide will pick you up and drive you to Materuni Village. Upon arrival, registration at the village office marks the start of your journey. The short, scenic drive from Moshi up the lush slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro to Materuni, situated at approximately 1,800 meters above sea level, offers a glimpse into the region's rich agricultural heritage, ideal for producing some of Africa's best coffee. At a local coffee farm, you'll learn about the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of coffee, and even participate in roasting and preparing a fresh cup the traditional Chagga way. After enjoying this delightful coffee break, you’ll embark on a picturesque 45-minute hike through banana and coffee plantations, mini-valleys, ridges, and splashing rivulets towards the Materuni Falls. Throughout the hike, your guide will introduce you to local plants used for food and traditional medicine, enriching your understanding of the Chagga culture.

The Best Time To Take This Tour!
The best time for this Tanzania safari Adventure is during the dry season, from June to October, when wildlife viewing reaches its peak. During these months, the Serengeti comes alive with the dramatic spectacle of the Great Migration as millions of wildebeest and zebras cross the plains, often followed by prowling predators. The dry conditions also draw animals to waterholes, making it easier to spot them in iconic parks like Tarangire and Ngorongoro Crater. For bird enthusiasts, the green season from November to May is equally captivating, with lush landscapes and vibrant migratory birds in abundance. Tanzania’s diverse offerings ensure that, no matter the time of year, every safari promises unforgettable moments in the heart of the wild.
