Coffee tour w/ ZAFS
I had a wonderful experience doing the coffee tour in Materuni Village with ZAFS Tours. The entire experience felt very authentic and thoughtfully organized. It was fascinating to see the traditional coffee-making process up close—from preparing and roasting the beans to finally tasting freshly brewed coffee. The local hosts were extremely welcoming and made the experience feel warm, personal, and connected to the culture of the village. ZAFS Tours did a great job making sure everything was smooth and enjoyable. If you’re visiting the Moshi area and want to experience local coffee culture in an authentic way, I would definitely recommend this tour. ☕

Amazing and authentic coffee tour with ZAFS Tours in Mataruni Village! highly recommend! ☕️
I had such a wonderful experience with ZAFS Tours during the Mataruni Village coffee tour. Everything from the organization to the actual experience felt very authentic and thoughtfully arranged and mainly so so warm and homely. The tour itself was incredible! we got to walk through the village, learn about the entire coffee-making process from bean to cup, and even participate in grinding and roasting the coffee the traditional way. It felt very immersive and not at all rushed. What I appreciated most was how friendly and knowledgeable the team was. They made the experience fun, interactive, and very informative while also making sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour. Our driver also sang and danced with us during pounding the coffee! 😂 If you’re visiting the Moshi area in Tanzania and want to experience local culture in a meaningful way, I highly recommend booking with them. It’s one of those experiences that stays with you long after the trip ends! ☕️✨

Unforgettable experience organized by ZAF
Awesome experience. Loved the way ZAF handled our group and made the day trip enjoyable. We ground our own coffee, sang songs, danced with the group and finally brewed it. Awesome.

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full-Day Private Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee in Tanzania: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does Full-Day Private Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee in Tanzania cost?
+
Prices start at $97 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 Full-Day Private Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee in Tanzania take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Full-Day Private Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee in Tanzania worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 18 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 Full-Day Private Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee in Tanzania?
+
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 Full-Day Private Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee in Tanzania suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full-Day Private Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee in Tanzania?
+
Around 6 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full-Day Private Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee in Tanzania 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.

+

Does Full-Day Private Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee in Tanzania include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 32 listed pickup locations in and around Moshi. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Full-Day Private Materuni Waterfalls and Coffee in Tanzania offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
