Tour Activity

Activity Visiting Materuni Village

The tour starts with a walk to Materuni Waterfall. It is an opportunity to see how local fruits like avocados, mangos, lemons, and bananas grow, as well as learn some of the local history, traditions, village economy, and agricultural and cultural life. When you get to the waterfall, you can refresh yourself in the natural pool, so swimsuits will come in handy!

The tour will continue with a visit to the local village lying in the coffee plantations. The villagers will demonstrate the process of coffee farming and guide you through the preparation of coffee from a bean to a cup. Sing and dance along with the Chaga people as they are grinding, roasting, and boiling the beans. When the coffee is ready, villagers will serve a nice lunch, and local ‘mamas’ will be more than happy to prepare some of their favourite Chagga dishes for you. Banana stew, pilau, or rice and beans are only a few of the options.
