Day 3
Arusha to Materuni Waterfall
Arusha to Materuni Waterfall
We wake up early and have breakfast from 7 to 8 am and then begin our journey to the Materuni Waterfalls.
Drive time: 2hrs 30min
Hiking: 1hr (30min hike to the waterfall and 30min back). Swimming at the waterfall (optional).
This tour provides a very different experience from the safari trip! The hike to the waterfall is a medium-level walk through the plantations, local villagers’ houses, and local pubs. The hiking itself is very refreshing, especially after long hours spent in the car during the safari.
Thereafter, the coffee tour provides you with rare and delightful moments with the villagers as they teach you to make local organic coffee using local tools, highly motivational local songs, and even dancing! After that, you will have a freshly made cup of organic coffee with less caffeine and an incredible taste. Lastly, we will have a variety of freshly made local food by the Chagga women.
We then return to the airport for drop-off or transfer you to your accommodation.
