Materuni Waterfalls- Travel Tips What to See, How to Plan & Tours: Natural Scenery; Tanzania; 5 Reviews

Suggested Duration: 4 hours

Materuni Waterfalls in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania sits just 15 km from Moshi town, nestled in the Chagga village of the same name at around 2,400–2,500 m elevation on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. The waterfall—also locally known as Nambe (“first‑born”)—drops approximately 70–80 m into a clear plunge pool fed by glacial melt, offering a cool swim in rainforest surroundings. Visitors follow a trail winding through banana, avocado and coffee shambas, with sweeping views of Moshi and the summit of Kibo on clear days. The tour includes immersive insight into Chagga agricultural traditions—from coffee cultivation to roasting and grinding—often accompanied by traditional song, dance and a locally prepared lunch with banana beer.

We had a driver/guide bring us to the waterfall. He hiked with us and took us to see the coffee presentation afterward. The hike was fairly easy and was beautiful! There were a lot of neat things to see on the way. The waterfall was great and some of our group got in the cold water.

What an experience this was beautiful walks to the waterfall. Lovely views around the nature. Clear sky, just walk in to it. And seeing just how big it is. We decided to step in the water under the waterfall Truly was breathtaking, so grateful to come here. And to see this with the tribe greeting. And after making coffee from the beans, what they remarkable.

A beautiful waterfall with an adventurous path to it. The path is steep, not quite level and stony. For older people and very young children it could be difficult, for everyone else an interesting path with nice views, lots of green and some chameleons. At the waterfall you can not swim, but cool off a bit. Don't forget to bring water to drink, there is hardly anything to buy on the way. Guides will show you the way to earn some money.
