About two hours outside of Marangu is the village of Materuni, home of the Materuni waterfalls made up of snow run-off from Kilimanjaro. It’s an easy half hour walk to see the falls. After viewing and possibly swimming in the falls, return to the village and experience how coffee is made. Members of the Chaga tribe will show you where the coffee is grown and you will help make the best cup of coffee you have ever tasted! You will help grind it, roast it, sift it, and finally drink it.
