Itinerary

Materuni Waterfalls day trip

After breakfast you will be met by your driver and set out for the Materuni Waterfalls day tour (approx 3 hours drive) packed with lunch boxes, this village has a very impressive waterfall, which is one of the tallest in the area, spewing crystal clear glacier water 70m into its basin.

The beautiful path leading to Materuni Waterfall is located 2500m above sea level. It traverses through valleys and hills covered by tropical rainforest, past coffee, banana and avocado “shambas”, the Kiswahili word for farms. On a clear day, great views of Kibo and Moshi can be seen.

The hike to the base of the Waterfall can be demanding and hiking boots are recommended. Upon reaching the bottom a picnic lunch will be served before returning to Materuni village, the starting point of the hike.
Hiking boots and a pole are highly recommended. If a pole is not available the guide will construct one from tree branches found in the area.

More information about this day tour
On the lower slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro lies the village of Materuni. It is one of the many villages in Tanzania populated by the Chagga tribe. Materuni village produces many perishable goods including yam, sugar, maize and beans. However, the main crop that is grown is coffee. In the village you will be able to learn about the process from which coffee is grown, to when it is finally poured, steaming hot into the cup.

You will pick your coffee, remove the cover and then with coffee that has been previously dried out, crush it into coffee granules. After experiencing the complete coffee production process you will be able to enjoy your very own, satisfying and rewarding cup of fresh coffee.

You will also learn how the Chagga tribe lives, such as their home set-up, the types of food they cook and eat and how they rear their animals.

During your trek to the Materuni waterfalls, you will enjoy the scenery of coffee and banana plantation farms. Late in the afternoon, you will drive back to Arusha or Moshi town.

Perfect Safari experience We had an amazing 7 day/7 night safari experience with Landside! Maxon and our incredible tour guide, Beatus, were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive. We saw everything we wanted to see and more at Tarangire, Serengeti, and Ngorongoro. Every day was comfortable, well paced, and was tailored to what we wanted to see and do. We would highly recommend Landside and we can’t wait to be back again!

In very good hands to climb Mount Meru and Kilimanjaro Our group of five had an amazing experience with Landside Adventures climbing successfully both Mount Meru in 4 days and Kilimanjaro (Rongai route) in 6 days. The organization was excellent and the team of guides, cooks and porters professional and extremely friendly. They took us to summit with care, helping us avoid excessive fatigue. Food and sleeping conditions were very good. Maxon , who runs the agency is very responsive and attentive to details. He responded to our demands including last minute changes with a smile. Florian, our guide, has a long experience of the mountai, is very cheerful and controls his team very well. Overall , a once in a lifetime experience which requires to hire the right people. Landslide Adventures definitely qualifies!

Definitely go with Landside for your adventure! I did a 4N/5D safari game drive through Tarangire, Serengeti and Nogorongo crater. Maxon was extremely prompt and responsive throughout the planning process. I was well received with my airport pickup upon arrival and Maxon and my guide, Edgar arrived to meet me the next morning. Edgar was extremely professional, and such a safe driver despite long days driving across bumpy and dusty dirt road. With 22 years of experience, he was loaded with a wealth on safari information! The lodges were really comfortable and well needed after a long day of game drive. Thank you Maxon and Edgar, for an unforgettable Tanzanian experience!

Mt Meru- 3 days Great hike to the top of Mt Meru. Breathtaking views. Challenging climbs. Walking safari as a bonus. Landside really took care of us and provided an amazing experience.

Perfect Honeymoon Trip My wife and I booked a trip through Landside Adventures for our honeymoon. Their itinerary was perfect, we got to do everything we were looking for and more: waterfall hike, hot springs, hike to summit of Mount Longido, Safari in Serengeti and Ngorongoro parks and crater, and Zanzibar for the beach. The accommodations were perfect - particularly glamping at Embalakai camp in Serengeti, one of the most enjoyable overnight stays, and at the lodge on top of Ngorongoro Crater. Highly recommend Landside Adventures and the safari guide Derrick, if he is available and not already booked. Landside Adventures went above and beyond our expectations.

Kilimanjaro and Serengeti Safari. We did a 6 day Kilimanjaro hike and a 5 day Safari with Landside Adventures. The owner Max is a wonderful person and has a truly amazing team who work for him. The group which were assigned for our Kili hike were truly beyond humans. Their patience,knowledge,support and going above and beyond their responsibilities made our hike possible. If not for their accommodative nature and meticulous planning we wouldn’t have made it to the Uhuru peak.The main guides Keddy,Moses and Eliah did everything practically possible for us. The rest of the team Chef,Waitet and porters also went beyond their assigned roles and anchored our family to make our dream come true. On the summit day my kids were sick so they pushed the start of the hike by almost 6 hrs and added 2 more guides to the team so that we had an ample support system to reach the Uhuru peak and although it was dark by the time we started the descent they were fully prepared to support us and get us back to the camp safely. I honestly don’t have words to appreciate their efforts and feel blessed to have known them through this association. If I were to come back again they would be my only choice. Infact my brother’s family had used them 2 yrs ago and that’s how I knew them. The chef did his very best to understand our needs and cooked us healthy and nutritious food.Kudos to the complete team Kudos to the team …we will be greatly indebted to you for ever for your wonderful support ..,Keddy,Moses,Eliah,Nicholas,Jeffrey,Julius,Godson,Daniel,Allen,Kitomari,Meshak,Richard and Shukuru.. After the successful hike we took off on the safari and the guide/driver Othman was very experienced and patient and did give us the experience of a life time. He used to speak to the other drivers and drive us to viewing areas where we could see all the different animals and other species. We were able to check off all the animals in our list..We were lucky and primarily due to Othman efforts we were able to witness the Mara River crossing of the Wilderbeasts. Our trip included accommodation and food and the lodges and camps he booked were very good ( Serena,Kubu Kubu, Mara Mara under canvas ) I would recommend this company to anyone who is looking forward to doing Kilimanjaro or the Serengeti Safari. God bless Max and team at Landside Adevetures.
