Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee Tour from Moshi: price, duration and which to pick (2026)

The Materuni waterfall (about 90 m high according to tour listings) and a coffee farm visit are usually combined in one excursion, from half a day to a full day, from Moshi or Arusha on the slopes of Kilimanjaro. Allow 5 to 9 hours depending on the format, and roughly $30 to $40 per person for the basic version (guide, entrance fees and transport from Moshi), up to $80 or more with lunch or a hot spring. These prices come from resale sites in October 2026: we found no official entrance fee, so confirm what is included. This is a mainland Tanzania trip: it cannot be done as a day trip from Zanzibar.

Highlights

Kilimanjaro from Moshi

The tour starts in the Moshi area at the foot of the mountain; Materuni village sits on its slopes.

The walk to the falls

A trail through the village and its crops leads to the waterfall, with swimming at the bottom according to the listings.

Materuni coffee

You pick, hull and roast the beans by hand over a fire, then drink the coffee: this is the cultural part of the trip.

Optional hot springs

Several formats add the Kikuletwa (Chemka) hot springs for a full day.
