Materuni Waterfall is among the tallest in the region, standing at 80 meters high. Visitors are welcome to swim in the pool beneath the falls, but be aware that the water is quite cold, as it comes from glacier water directly off the mountain.
Cultural Lunch: Enjoy a delicious, freshly prepared local meal while learning about the Chagga Tribe, who have traditionally lived at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Chemka Hot Springs: Swim in the beautiful, clear waters of Chemka Hot Springs, a green oasis surrounded by a barren, rocky landscape. The waters are always warm, and there are two areas to choose from: a peaceful, quiet pool or a more lively swimming area with a rope swing for adventurous visitors.
