Super trip from Moshi pre or post Kili - Great little trip from Moshi as a warm up to Kilimanjaro. Beautiful walk through lush vibrant rainforest to a stunning waterfall. Learnt lots about the people, culture and environment. Thoroughly enjoyed the delicious traditional lunch and making and drinking coffee with the locals was really fun. The guys are great singers, dancers and photographers too!

Absolute Must-Do Experience with Sylvester and Dennis! - We had an absolutely amazing time on our tour! If you are visiting the area, I highly recommend booking this experience. A huge thank you to our lead guide, Sylvester, and our co-guide, Dennis, for making the day so memorable. They were both fantastic hosts who went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. Highlights of the Day: Materuni Village: The hike to the waterfall was beautiful, followed by a delicious, authentic lunch. Coffee Experience: We loved learning about the coffee plantation. Getting to roast our own beans and drink the coffee fresh and hot was a unique highlight. Personal Touches: Sylvester even let us make guacamole from fresh avocados, which was such a fun (and tasty) addition to the day! Chemka Hot Springs: A perfect way to relax after the hike. Sylvester also helped us pick out and buy fresh corn and mangoes to enjoy, which were incredible. Thank you, Sylvester and Dennis, for such a wonderful day. Don't hesitate to do this tour!

Very good experience - We stayed at the Materuni home hotel two nights, it is an experience I would recommend to anyone who enjoys nature and contact with the Local people. From the hotel we made the excursion to materuni waterfall and enjoyed it very much, largely for the environment that accompanies them. Our guide Noel taught us many things, we really enjoyed his company.

With Noel, we walk for 40 min to reach a waterfall. We went back to materuni where we learned about the coffe making process. Gr - It was a great experience with Noel! Everything was well explained with a lot of details. Noel really took care of us, singing with the coffee preparation!

Great three nights stay at the Materuni homes. - Very friendly, helpful staff. The workers make you feel like you live here and are part of the community. The rooms are nice and clean with beautiful views of Mount Kilimanjaro. They arrange excellent drivers and guides. Be prepared for a very rough road coming here. this is not a complaint. It’s very interesting trip , extremely local experience. then good service once you get here. Plenty of food for every meal.
