“We had a great time throughout the whole day. The program is well constructed with all three major stops.

2.Materuni waterfalls coffee tour & Chemka hot springs Day trip

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 131 reviews · from $95

Spend a full day near Kilimanjaro with a private guide such as Owen or David. Hike to Materuni Waterfalls, learn Chagga coffee-making from bean to cup, then swim at Chemka Hot Springs. Expect beautiful scenery, a rough drive, and a longer day than the advertised 6 to 9 hours.

“My guide was great! Scenery was magnificent, and the springs are a great refreshing way to refresh after the hike. Its a bumpy ride. But well worth it. The ONLY warning I would give is despite what is listed, this is not a 4-6 hour tour. Its 10-12. I looked at 4-6 hours and told myself "no way" and I was right. So this is your entire day. But well worth it.”
