Overview
Tucked away in the lush foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, Materuni Waterfalls is one of the most breathtaking natural wonders in Northern Tanzania. Cascading nearly 90 meters into a crystal-clear pool, the waterfall is surrounded by dense tropical vegetation, offering a refreshing escape into nature.
A visit to Materuni is more than just a scenic hike – it’s also a cultural experience. The area is home to the Chagga people, and visitors can enjoy guided tours of local villages, learn about traditional lifestyles, and participate in coffee-making experiences using age-old methods.
The hike to the falls takes you through banana plantations, coffee farms, and lush forests filled with birds and butterflies. Upon reaching the base, you can take in the spectacular view or cool off with a swim in the natural pool.
Whether as a day trip from Moshi or Arusha or an add-on to your Kilimanjaro climb, Materuni Waterfalls offers the perfect blend of adventure, culture, and relaxation.
