Overview

Why Materuni Waterfalls

Materuni village sits on the Kilimanjaro foothills, surrounded by banana and coffee plantations. A short forest hike leads to a powerful 90-metre waterfall ideal for cooling off.

Most visitors combine the falls with a coffee-roasting demonstration in the village — a great half-day from Moshi or Arusha.
