What you'll see and do
Materuni Waterfalls
Materuni village is situated at the base of Kilimanjaro National Park. During this excursion, you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local traditions and customs of the Chagga people. You will learn about their coffee-growing and processing methods for personal use. Additionally, you will visit a coffee farm, where you can pick coffee beans and participate in the preparation of your own locally brewed strong coffee. Following the coffee experience, you will embark on a 30-minute hike to reach Materuni Waterfalls. These magnificent falls cascade down from a height of about 80 meters, and they are fed by the freshwater drainage originating from Mount Kilimanjaro. This will provide you with a chance to explore the beauty of nature and even indulge in swimming in the refreshing waters of the waterfall. Transportation 1 - 2 hours to Rundugai Chemka

Chemka Hotspring
The ride to the Kikuletwa Hot Springs is through partly over bumpy slopes. First, we go past sugar cane plantations, then we come to the African scrubland. Dried riverbeds, baobab and acacia trees accompany us on our way. The hot springs of Kikuletwa, also known as Chemka Hot Springs, are close to the village of Rundugai and are one of the most beautiful places in Tanzania to relax. The small pond is surrounded by palm and fig trees with winding roots and the crystal clear, turquoise water invites you to a refreshing bath. Although they are called hot springs, the water in Kikuletwa is not truly ‘hot’ but refreshing, as the water source is fed by Kilimanjaro itself.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
1-Day Safari to Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot spring: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does 1-Day Safari to Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot spring cost?
+
Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arusha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1-Day Safari to Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot spring take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arusha is not rushed.
Is 1-Day Safari to Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot spring worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1-Day Safari to Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot spring?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1-Day Safari to Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot spring suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 9-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 1-Day Safari to Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot spring?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arusha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1-Day Safari to Materuni Waterfalls and Chemka Hot spring start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arusha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Arusha?
+
On Outty we rank every Arusha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs, 4 Days Group Camping Safari, 3 Days Serengeti & Ngorongoro Group Camping Safari. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Arusha?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Arusha?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
