Great fun, a lovely little experience and well worth doing. - A brilliant experience at Materuni. Watching the coffee being made from scratch was fascinating, and we learnt a lot about the process before having a go ourselves. the traditional Tanzanian songs and atmosphere made it even more special. the coffee was excellent fresh, rich, and beautifully prepared. Highly recommended if you’re in the area

Best Day Trip! - We had such a wonderful day visiting Materuni Waterfalls, and our guide Alprince made the experience so relaxing. From start to finish, he created a calm atmosphere, taking care of all the details so we could simply enjoy the journey. The hike through the lush landscape was peaceful and full of natural beauty, and when we reached the waterfall, it was breathtaking. Alprince shared insights about the local area and culture - We had plenty of time to take in the scenery and enjoy the moment. If you’re in Arusha and looking for a memorable day trip, I highly recommend Materuni Waterfalls with Alprince as your guide.

unforgettable adventure - after the safari, it was necessary to travel from Arusha to Kilimanjaro to fly to Zanzibar. To pass the time took a tour of the falls from Joni and didn't regret it. The whole day flew by like a moment, a lot of positive emotions. Lunch and the coffee-making ceremony were at 1,800 meters on the mountain, then the clouds went and the mountain appeared, it was just unforgettable. I recommend it unequivocally.

Great day with Johnny - We had a wonderful day with Johnny. He picked us up in Arusha and we drove to the Materuni Falls. The trail is not so difficult that anyone couldn't manage it. At the waterfalls, we had a quick refreshment break and jumped into the water. The water was very refreshing. It's a great spot for photos and a beautiful setting. There are small local shops (souvenirs) on the way to/from the waterfall. Afterwards, we had lunch with local dishes and were able to watch the production of coffee (Arabica) and taste it. Finally, we went to a restaurant together and were lucky enough to see Kilimanjaro at sunset.

Amazing local experience in Materuni village - I had the best time doing the Materuni day trip with Tanzalux Safaris! From the moment we arrived, the local people welcomed us with songs and big smiles. It was so beautiful and made me feel at home. The waterfall was amazing so fresh and peaceful. After that, we visited the village, and I got to try Chagga traditional food and local banana beer. It was something different but I really enjoyed it. The cooking style was interesting and very tasty. Also, they showed us how they make coffee, and we even danced and sang with them during the coffee making – it was so fun! The energy was high and full of happiness. I didn’t want the day to end. Thank you Joel for this beautiful cultural experience. I will never forget it. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Tanzania.

So much to see in just one day, with the nicest locals! - We were picked up by our tour guide Elly and had great conversations with him throughout the day. He was very friendly & caring. My friend had a cold, and Elly even arranged a ginger drink with a friend at the local market to help her feel better. Thanks also to my friend John, who recommended the tour and put us in contact! We started with a hike to the Materuni Waterfall, and the nature was breathtakingly beautiful! We got wet at the waterfall, but it was totally worth it! We also had a furry hiking companion. Afterwards, we visited a coffee farm that has been passed down from generation to generation, where we learned a lot about their traditions in coffee production, sang together, and tasted the coffee. The day was rounded off with a swim in the Quemka springs. And all of this in just one day! I really enjoyed the experience and even just during the drive with Elly, I learned a lot about the culture in Arusha and other areas in the country. I already recommended it to another family, daughter and mother, who also loved the tour.

Amazing company, people, food, drinks and experience! - We had amazing waterfall, coffee and hot springs Tour with victor . He showed us the amazing landscape of Materuni, explained things and a lot of different plants we saw and their use by locals. The waterfall is really impressive. Local lunch was excellent - besides main dishes we really enjoyed tasting the fresh fruits as well as banana beer. Traditional Coffee songs was also fun and really interesting. Swimming in the natural paradies of hot springs was perfect finish. We really recommend to do the Tour with victor
