A Chagga village walk to an 80 m waterfall on Kilimanjaro's slopes, and roasting your own coffee
Materuni is a Chagga village above Moshi, surrounded by banana and coffee farms on the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro. A local guide walks you about an hour through the farms to the Materuni waterfall, where you can swim in the pool if you are brave enough for the cold. Back in the village, a family shows you how Kilimanjaro coffee goes from cherry to cup, and you roast and grind your own, with songs and a lunch of local dishes. Pick-up in Moshi or Arusha.
Clear mornings, warmer nights, quieter trails than the July peak
Wet forest and cloud; climbs still run, with fewer people on the mountain
The most popular climbing season: dry trails, cold summit nights
Short showers, mostly in the afternoon; a good shoulder season
Pick-up at 09:00 in Moshi and drive 40 minutes up to Materuni. Walk about 1 hour to the waterfall and back, then the coffee experience and lunch with a local family. Back in Moshi around 16:00. About 6 km on foot.
Return transfer from an Arusha hotel instead of Moshi, for the whole vehicle.
