Description
Discover the secrets of coffee production on a tour of a local coffee farm. Enjoy a hike through the hills and valleys to the Marangu Waterfalls Day Tour.
Explore the culture and terrifying history of the Chagga Tribe on a day trip to Marangu. Take a short but delightful hike in the lush green landscape to a sparkling waterfall. Visit a coffee plantation and have the chance to roast and make your coffee.
Begin the day with a short drive up onto the slopes of Kilimanjaro, to Marangu, approximately 1,800 m above sea level. This lush rainforest region is known for producing some of the best coffee in East Africa. Start the day with a visit to a small coffee farm and learn about how the coffee is grown, harvested, and processed locally.
Try your own hand at processing, roasting, and preparing a fresh cup of coffee in the local Chagga way. Once you have finished enjoying your coffee break, depart on a beautiful 45-minute hike through the hills and valleys en route to the waterfalls. Along the way your guide will teach you about local plants and how they are used for food and traditional medicine, as well as giving you more insight into the local Chagga culture.
The waterfalls are hidden in a pristine valley with cliffs towering up to 200ft overhead. The water falls straight down in a curtain to land in a small pool where you can relax, have lunch, and go for a swim in the chill mountain waters. After the falls hike, return to the car and return to Moshi.
