What to expect
#Materuni Village –Here you can really get to grips with the life of the local #Chagga people- wandering through the village and passing their homesteads. Located in the picturesque #foothills of #Kilimanjaro. Once you reach the village you will start your #coffee tour at a traditional Chagga 'shamba' (farm). Here your guide will explain all aspects of the Chagga homestead including the other crops that they grow aside from coffee. You will get to see how the coffee is produced- from picking the bean to roasting and then drinking a delicious cup yourself. Following your coffee tour, you will then take a short hike (make sure to wear some good shoes as it can be muddy up there), passing through local villages to reach the #waterfalls. Here you will either have a picnic lunch box. Following lunch, you will have the opportunity to take a dip in the refreshing (quite cold!) #pools beneath the waterfalls. After that, you will walk back to the car back to #Moshi
