An excellent experience from start to finish. On time, friendly, knowledgeable, passionate about their work.

Most memorable tour
Charles the guide took me on one of the most challenging hikes up to the Materuni Waterfalls. It had unfortunately rained the previous night and so the path up and down the mountains was very wet and slippery. However Charles guided me throughout the whole hike there and back, holding my hand whenever I needed help, carrying my handbag and explaining everything I needed to know and answering all my questions. He’s very intelligent, professional and knowledgeable. I was very lucky to have him as my guide. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide, bless him! Highly recommend this company and this particular guide - Charles! Thank you so much Charles for a most amazing and memorable tour.
Response from the operator: Dear Zeina, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed your Materuni adventure. Charles will be thrilled to hear your kind words—they truly reflect the care, professionalism, and passion he brings to every tour. Thank you for trusting Safaribyleo, and we hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for another unforgettable experience!

Coffee is life
A truly unique experience for coffee and nature lovers. The guide, Kelvin, was very friendly and explained all the cultural details. The group that welcomed us for the coffee experience was very fun, cheerful, and friendly. Lunch was fantastic. One of the best coffee and nature experiences we've ever had on a trip.
Response from the operator: Hello Lauran, Thank you for your kind review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed the coffee and nature experience, the warm hospitality of the local community, and the fantastic lunch. Kelvin will be delighted to hear your compliments. It was our pleasure to host you, and we hope to welcome you back to Tanzania for more unforgettable experiences in the future. 🌿☕😊

Charles, Mr. Coffee, local music, and Kilimanjaro View
We booked the waterfalls and coffee tour, but modified it to be only the coffee tour because of our flight time. It ended up being one of the most fun experiences ever! At the local plantation, the host (Mr. Coffee) showed us the entire process…from roasting to grinding to brewing and tasting. He made it lively and interactive with music and dancing, which kept the whole experience full of energy and joy. Charles was our guide (we had toured Moshi City with him the evening before), and it was wonderful to continue the conversation with someone so intelligent and knowledgeable. His insight added so much depth to the day. He also wrote a children’s book, which was amazing, he even gave us three copies to share with my nieces and nephews. I highly recommend you ask him about this book; it’s about safari life, the animals you see, and how they live. It was very insightful, and super fun to read. To top it off, Mount Kilimanjaro 🏔️ stood right in front of us as we made our way to the plantation, giving us some unforgettable photo opportunities. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, highly recommended if you want to immerse yourself in local culture while enjoying fresh, delicious coffee ☕️
Response from the operator: Good day, Salisha thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and for your nice remarks.That our guides are excellent and that you loved the Coffee experience,local music and sightings of Mt. Kilimanjaro makes us very happy.We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you again soon.

Unforgettable Days with Charles – Culture, Nature, and the Best Coffee Experience
We had an amazing experience with this tour! Our guide Charles was absolutely fantastic – very friendly, relaxed, and incredibly empathetic. He really listened to our wishes and needs and made sure we felt comfortable the entire time. We also had great and engaging conversations with him about Tanzanian culture and everyday life, and he patiently answered all of our questions. The organization of the trip was top-notch. We visited a beautiful waterfall, enjoyed a fascinating coffee tour with a lively live demo full of singing and great atmosphere – and, of course, delicious coffee at the end. Lunch with the locals was honestly the best meal we had during our entire stay in Tanzania. The visit to the Moshi market gave us yet another authentic glimpse into local culture and was truly impressive. As a bonus, when we realized we didn’t have the right charger for our camera, Charles even helped us find the right one in town – which saved our safari later on! All in all, we can wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Thank you, Charles, for making our days so memorable!
Response from the operator: Jambo Elke! We are absolutely thrilled by your wonderful feedback! It brings us so much joy to hear that you had a fantastic experience exploring the breathtaking Materuni waterfalls and enjoying the delightful coffee tours and local lunch. We’ll definitely make sure to celebrate Charles for his outstanding work and encourage our team to keep up the great effort! We can’t wait to welcome you back for more exciting adventures soon!

Materuni Thundering Waterfalls,Coffee Experience with Moshi Town Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Moshi.
How much does Materuni Thundering Waterfalls,Coffee Experience with Moshi Town Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $80 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 Materuni Thundering Waterfalls,Coffee Experience with Moshi Town Tour take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Materuni Thundering Waterfalls,Coffee Experience with Moshi Town Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 21 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 Materuni Thundering Waterfalls,Coffee Experience with Moshi Town Tour?
+
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 Materuni Thundering Waterfalls,Coffee Experience with Moshi Town Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Materuni Thundering Waterfalls,Coffee Experience with Moshi Town Tour?
+
Around 7 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Materuni Thundering Waterfalls,Coffee Experience with Moshi Town Tour 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.
