‘A village nestled at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro waiting you to explore’
Take advantage of an extra day or two in the Moshi area to explore Materuni, a unique village of wonder sitting on the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. The village is blessed with natural beauty and cultural interest, assuring your most memorable experience. While in the village, the views of Moshi Town and Mount Kilimanjaro are astonishing. This village with fresh air, friendly welcoming residents and lush green vegetation welcomes visitors to explore the beauty of the land and cultural heritage of the Chagga people.
The tour starts from the village tourism office at Materuni village. Take a 30-minute walk with your English-speaking guide though the village, banana and coffee plantations as you’re going to the “Mnambe” waterfall, the largest and most beautiful in the region. You will enjoy swimming in a beautiful natural pool before walking back to the village.
The tour starts with the waterfall tour described above. On the way back through the village you will stop for a demonstration of the traditional ways of growing and harvesting coffee. Local villagers will demonstrate their age-old methods used in processing, hand roasting, grinding and preparing coffee.
This is your complete cultural immersion in Chagga village life! After learning about Chagga history from your guide born and raised in the village, you will visit a local primary school and learn about our education system. You will also learn how agro-forestry activities on highland ecosystems have been beneficial to people, landscape and wild animals. Visit traditional and contemporary Chagga homes on your way to the coffee experience explained above. Your tour ends with a wonderful Chagga dance performed by a group of men and women performing traditional songs for different occasions such as welcoming guests, important ceremonies, and crop harvesting.
