One day trip in Moshi-Materuni waterfalls
Materuni Village- Coffee and
Waterfalls day trip
One day trip in Moshi-Materuni
waterfalls. Materuni village is a beautifully lush area to visit on the
outskirts of Moshi (it is actually the home of our Director, Ambrose- hence the
name of the company!). Here you can really get to grips with the life of the
local Chagga people- wandering through the village and passing their homesteads.
Located in the picturesque foothills of Kilimanjaro, Materuni has managed to
retain its authentic edge over some of the other tourist attractions as it is
not one of the routes for climbing Kilimanjaro.
For your day trip you will have two
options for transport between Moshi town and the village… For those who really
wish to have the ‘real’ experience you can hop on a dala dala (the local
minibuses), along with your guide and possibly a chicken or two! If you’d
prefer to travel more quickly and comfortably you can choose to take a private
car. Once you reach the village you will start your coffee tour at a
traditional Chagga ‘shamba’ (farm). Here your guide will explain all aspects of
the Chagga homestead including the other crops that they grow aside from
coffee. You will get to see how the coffee is produced- from picking the bean
to roasting and then drinking a delicious cup yourself. Following your coffee
tour you will then take a short hike (make sure to wear some good shoes as it
can be muddy up there), passing through local villages to reach the waterfalls.
Here you will either have a picnic lunch box or arrive to a full spread of
freshly cooked lunch prepared by your own safari chef. Following lunch you will
have the opportunity to take a dip in the refreshing (quite cold!) pools
beneath the waterfalls. When you have had your fill of this beautiful place you
can start walking back to where you will take the dala dala or your private car
back to Moshi (reaching Moshi at approximately 4-5pm).
