After breakfast, around 8:00 AM we start the 2-hour drive to Materuni which is located under the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival, you will do a 35-minute hike to the waterfalls. If the weather is clear, you might get decent views of Mt Kilimanjaro that day. Make sure to wear good boots as the trail can be often muddy. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is a good place for a refreshing swim after the hike so don't forget your swimwear! After having enjoyed the scenery, you will slowly return with your guide to Materuni village where you will experience a traditional Chagga lunch. You also will have the opportunity to taste the local banana beer which is not to be missed!
Next, the coffee experience awaits you. Here you will learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted, and further processed. You will also be invited to help with the grinding of the coffee, which is traditionally accompanied by Chagga songs and dances - a fun way to immerse yourself in the local culture.
