Itinerary

Moshi To Materuni Village
- You will start from Moshi, up the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro to the village of Materuni.
- You’ll visit a coffee farm and learn about how coffee is grown, harvested, and processed, and you’ll try your hand at roasting and preparing a fresh cup of coffee the local Chagga way and have a taste of it.
- You’ll take a beautiful 45-minute hike through the hills and valleys en route to the Materuni Fall and pass through banana and coffee plantations.
- Along the way, your guide will teach you about local plants and how they are used for food and traditional medicine and give you more insight into the local Chagga culture.
- You’ll hear the falls before you see them, and once they come into view, you might be lucky enough to see a rainbow sheen as the splashing waters split the sunlight. The falls are hidden away in a pristine valley with cliffs towering to 200ft overhead. The mountain waters fall straight down in a shimmering curtain to splash in the rippling pool where you can float and take a swim.

Know Before You Go

If you experience any flight delays, please contact us via text messages or phone calls. Sending an email does not guarantee we receive your message in time.

If you arrive at Kilimanjaro airport(JRO)and don't see a driver, please call any numbers. If out of coverage, please send a text message as well.

Make sure you travel with your most essential items as hand luggage. If your luggage gets lost by the airline, you still have the most important items with you and can rent less important items. Make sure you wear your boots on the plane.

Make sure you have a lock for your duffel bag and make sure all items in your duffel bag are packed in small waterproof plastic bags, even if your duffel bag is waterproof.

Bring a separate bag or suitcase so you can store excess luggage at the hotel for the duration of the hike.

Please let us know in advance if you wish to rent any equipment.

Traveller checks are not recommended. Rather bring credit cards or cash in USD. Please make sure all USD bank notes are in good condition with no cuts/damage and not older than 2001.

During the hike, keep all valuables such as money and passports on. You do not leave them in the tent, OR you can go them in with us as we have a safe place to store clients' valuables to avoid getting lost or stolen.

Most places on Kilimanjaro have mobile coverage. If you bring your mobile phone, make sure you activate international roaming with your service provider. If taking your mobile phone with you on the hike, we recommend you switch your phone off when not using it as there are no electricity points on the mountain for you to charge your phone.

When making the summit attempt, we recommend taking the batteries out of your camera and keeping it close to your body, then only insert them when you are ready to start taking photos.

If using camelback, remember to bring an insulating cover for the pipe and blow the water out of the pipe after drinking, and this will help prevent the water from freezing in the summit attempt.

If taking snacks, we recommend avoiding any toffee-like energy bars as they will freeze at a high altitude; instead, bring cereal based energy bars.

During the summit attempt, cold conditions and wind can make your nose runny. Something like Vicks Vapor can help your nose open.

Using Lip Balm or Vaseline on your li, and this is will help keep them moisturised during the summit attempt.

Sound travels at night and many people snore-- bring some earplugs to sleep with.

The trail is very dusty, and a block is common. Remember to bring a good decongestant spray (tablet).

Hand warmers and even a hot water bottle are good ideas (hot water is available). You will encounter minus temperatures from the first night onwards, and this helps keep warm in the sleeping bag.

If you start to get a blister, it will help you bring blister plasters, Vaseline, and liner socks.

Don't forget the water purification tablets.

During the summit attempt, you will ascend 1km in short altitude gasses in your stomach will expand. Many people drink Imodium just before leaving for the summit attempt.

Materuni village is rich in coffee. Enjoy your packed lunch at any time that you want to enjoy if it is after or before the swim.
