Materuni Waterfall
At the base of Mount Kilimanjaro lies the village of Materuni, home to the Chagga people. When you arrive, you’ll be greeted with warm smiles and happiness. They wish you a wonderful day, knowing the beauty that awaits you.
From the main road, it’s a 45-minute hike, so we recommend wearing good shoes. Along the way, you’ll walk through a rainforest and fields of banana and coffee plantations, with the fragrant scent of flowers in the air. Your guide will share insights about Chagga culture and show you the flower symbolizing love and forgiveness.
Upon reaching Materuni Waterfall, you can take a swim, but be aware that the water is very cold, as it comes from the glaciers of Kilimanjaro. If you wish to swim under the waterfall, you can try, but the force of the water is strong, so exercise caution. Remember, swimming in Materuni is at your own risk.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
