Overview

Walk through banana and coffee farms on Kilimanjaro's slopes to a 70-metre waterfall, then roast and grind your own coffee with a Chagga family.

Materuni is a Chagga village high on the green lower slopes of Kilimanjaro, forty minutes from Moshi. A local guide walks you along red-earth paths between banana plants and coffee bushes to the Materuni waterfall, which drops seventy metres into a cool, clear pool. Swim if you are brave — the water comes straight off the mountain.

Back in the village a Chagga family shows you how coffee goes from red cherry to cup: picking, peeling, roasting over the fire and grinding by hand while everyone sings. Lunch is a home-cooked meal of banana stew, greens and fresh fruit.

It is the perfect gentle day before or after a Kilimanjaro climb, and children love it.
