Steve planned our full day very well.
We recently spent the day at Materuni Waterfall and joined the coffee tour with our family. Our guide Issah explained everything beautifully, he was very friendly. The waterfall was beautiful, and the coffee experience was something completely different. The coffee tour was fun and gave us a chance to experience some local food. Happily enjoyed our day with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris.

We would happily do this day again with Kibo Mawenzi Safaris.
Our entire day in Materuni was amazing from start to finish. My partner and I really enjoyed this combined experience of waterfalls, coffee tour and Chemka hot springs, as each part of the day was completely different. Materuni was beautiful and walking through the villages and coffee plantations made the experience even more authentic. Chemka Hot Springs was the perfect end to our trip. We spent some time swimming and relaxing in the warm waters before heading back. Although it was a busy day, there was a nice balance between activity and relaxation.

Day trip around Kilimanjaro
Interesting and comfortable trip around Kilimanjaro foothills. Walk to waterfall was pleasant and not too strenuous. Local waterfall guide did not offer much information. Coffee visit was enjoyable and the coffee was lovely. Springs were a bit chaotic. Driver and guide (Francis and Ramadan) were great.

Beautiful Materuni Adventure
We really enjoyed our day trip with Kibo, the day we explored Materuni village and enjoyed authentic coffee. Materuni Waterfall was impressive, and the cool spray was refreshing after the walk We also had a lot of fun during the coffee tour and enjoyed seeing the amount of work that goes into preparing coffee beans. Meeting the local people and witnessing their traditions made the trip very special.

Why this scores 79
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
1 Full Day to Materuni Waterfalls, Coffee Tour & Chemka Hotspring: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does 1 Full Day to Materuni Waterfalls, Coffee Tour & Chemka Hotspring cost?
+
Prices start at $95 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Moshi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 Full Day to Materuni Waterfalls, Coffee Tour & Chemka Hotspring 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 Moshi is not rushed.
Is 1 Full Day to Materuni Waterfalls, Coffee Tour & Chemka Hotspring worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Moshi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Full Day to Materuni Waterfalls, Coffee Tour & Chemka Hotspring?
+
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 Full Day to Materuni Waterfalls, Coffee Tour & Chemka Hotspring suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1 Full Day to Materuni Waterfalls, Coffee Tour & Chemka Hotspring?
+
Around 9 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 Moshi 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 Moshi and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 Full Day to Materuni Waterfalls, Coffee Tour & Chemka Hotspring 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 Moshi 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 Moshi?
+
On Outty we rank every Moshi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Materuni Waterfall, Coffee Tour and Picnic Hot Lunch, Materuni Waterfall and Coffee Plantation Half Day Tour, Kilimanjaro climb, Machame Route (7-day). 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 Moshi?
+
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 Moshi?
+
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.
