Itinerary

Welcome to the Slopes of Kilimanjaro. Our journey begins with a private, luxury transfer from your residence. As we drive toward the vibrant village of Materuni, your personal guide will share the captivating history of the Chagga people, their ancient traditions, and how they have thrived on the fertile volcanic soil for centuries. You will be warmly introduced to the village elders and community members, setting the stage for an authentic cultural immersion.

The Art of Chagga Organic Coffee. Step into the world of traditional coffee farming. You will participate in a private, hands-on coffee ceremony with a local family. Discover the rhythmic songs used during the grinding process and uncover the secrets behind world-class organic Arabica coffee, from the farm to your cup. This is a moment of true connection with the heart of Chagga culture.

Majestic Materuni Waterfall Hike. Embark on a privately guided trek through lush, green landscapes and fruit plantations. Your guide will explain the local flora and fauna as you head toward the Materuni Waterfall. Standing at approximately 80 meters, it is a powerful sight. Enjoy the tranquility of the falls in a secluded setting, away from the crowds, tailored for a premium experience.

Gourmet Local Lunch Experience. Savor a specially prepared, high-end traditional lunch featuring fresh, organic ingredients sourced directly from the village farms. This meal is served in a comfortable, scenic setting, allowing you to enjoy the authentic flavors of Tanzania with a touch of luxury.

Serenity at Kikuletwa Hot Springs. After the mountain air, we transition to the warm, turquoise waters of Chemka (Kikuletwa). This hidden oasis provides the perfect environment for relaxation.
