Materuni and Marangu Waterfalls

The fascinating waterfalls of Materuni and Marangu both have their own charm. Enjoy the cooler weather in the somewhat higher altitude and peak into the lives of traditional Chagga villages, the most dominant tribe of the Kilimanjaro region. The village of Materuni is known for its rich and aromatic coffee, and our tour offers you a one hour hike trough the Kilimanjaro rain forest to a Chagga coffee farm. After a short but but relaxing coffee break follows another short 30 minutes hike to the staggering waterfall. For those brave enough to tip-toe into the cold and clear waterfalls even a swim is possible. The village of Marangu is a well-known Chagga village and the starting point for many Kilimanjaro hikes. Our tour will take you to the Chagga museum in Marangu, followed by a short 30 minutes hike to the beautiful Marangu waterfalls that are surrounded by old Chagga statues and a cave. This cave has been used to protect women and children during the Chagga-Maasai wars. We will pick you up at your Moshi hotel in the morning for an about 30 minutes ride up the mountain to the villages from where we will start our tours. Enjoy a perfect mix of body-workout, gazing at Tanzania’s beautiful nature, and learning about the fascinating and crafty people of Kilimanjaro: the Chagga.

Chemka Hot Spring 

This hidden little tropical oasis is an interesting one hour drive away from Moshi. You will drive through Maasai-land and see their young warriors walking with their cattle in the dry land, scattered with large Baobab trees. Once you come upon this tropical little paradise you will be surprised by the crystal-clear blue water which is up to ten meters deep – and you can still see right to the ground! This place is called the Hot Springs, because of its geothermal warmth that bubbles up from underground, warming up the water to a relaxing lukewarm temperature. We will pick you up at your Moshi hotel in the morning for the one hour long, bumpy drive to the Hot Springs. Enjoy the beautiful scenery on the ride! Once we arrive, feel free to be you and relax. Feel free to jump into the crystal-clear waters, hang around and chat with the locals, and walk around the oasis. Or, if you feel adventurous, you may also rope-swing into the water!

Lake Chala 

This beautiful lake is an about one and a half hour drive away from Moshi. The high volcanic activity in this region many thousands of years ago has left us with incredible natural sights, for example the Lake Chala which has formed in a caldera right at the border between Tanzania and Kenya. We will pick you up at your Moshi hotel in the morning for the one and a half hour long, somewhat bumpy drive to Lake Chala. Close by the lake you can enjoy the view in the beautiful traditional bar right next to it, but you can also go down for a short hike and enjoy the refreshing waters, or hire a kayak. The small stage at the lake is also a perfect spot for a relaxing picnic with your friends.
