A trip of a lifetime, and just the people do do it with!
Serengeti Wakanda is an excellent company, one you can trust. We did a 10 day private tour for 2, expertly crafted by Goodluck, private safari guided by Felix. Felix is amazing, so lucky we had him. His knowledge of the flora, animals and culture was an education in itself. The camaraderie we built will stay with us a lifetime, wonderful memories. The joking around, expertly driven safari day after day, was something we looked forward as we started our morning. I especially enjoyed Felix’s skill with our off road adventures and safety care taken along our tour of the Serengeti, crater and other adventure stops. Oh, and the food, absolutely amazing, fresh, tasty and nutritious! Our stays were excellent throughout; although I did enjoy the glamping the most, sleeping with lions roaring, wildebeest snorting, you name it! We were treated to the great migration of literally millions of wildebeest and zebra crossing the Mara River, Bull elephant chasing 2 large lions, black mamba crossing the road, giraffe, lions, leopard, crocks, impala, gazelle, etc!!! We went to Servile Wildlife Refuge with our excellent driver Christen for our last 2 days where we pet a white lion, hugged and fed a giraffe and zebra, fed a horned impala etc. We followed this with a city tour our last day where we picked up memorabilia to take back, simply excellent; Christen was an excellent guide. This was a lifetime must of a trip for us, and these are the people to do it with!

Serengeti Wakanda Guides Rock!
Ben was a wonderful guide he knew the locals and very knowledgeable about the culture and customs and explaining anything we we should know or asked about. We enjoyed a great hike to the falls, Mataruni village coffee and lunch experience, some of the best food we’ve had and he arranged an exciting motorcycle ride back up to the top for a me and another in our group that had fallen behind or group. He also stopped anytime we wanted a photo so got stunning sunset views of Mt Kilamanjaro and Meru. He was also our guide on an earlier excursion to sites in Arusha that included an excellent local restaurant. Can’t recommend this company enough!

It was fun! Ben was so friendly and helpful. We hiked on Kilamanjaro and saw a stunning waterfall. The coffee experience was a delight to the senses. We learned so much and enjoyed the freshest coffee ever! Ben knew the villagers and took us to lunch where the food was the best I've has in Africa so far. The springs were so clear and refreshing. It would be great to have Ben take us on another tour sometime.

Wonderful day!
We had such a great time! Our guide Ben was so kind and caring and also very funny. We really felt we made a new friend, while he was also very professional. The surroundings were beautiful and the overall experience was just really good.

Best trip ever!
The trip was amazing and so beautiful! We had a tour guide named Ben and he was really nice! We went in rain season so the roads were a bit muddy but he helped me through it🤣. The waterfalls are really beautiful. On the ways Ben explained some things about the life in Moshi and about the life in Tanzania. I would recommend the tour but not with rain season unless you are not clumsy like me.

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
MATERUNI waterfalls, coffe tour & kikuletwa hotsprings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.
How much does MATERUNI waterfalls, coffe tour & kikuletwa hotsprings cost?
+
Prices start at $150 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 MATERUNI waterfalls, coffe tour & kikuletwa hotsprings 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 MATERUNI waterfalls, coffe tour & kikuletwa hotsprings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 35 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 MATERUNI waterfalls, coffe tour & kikuletwa hotsprings?
+
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 waterfalls, coffe tour & kikuletwa hotsprings 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 MATERUNI waterfalls, coffe tour & kikuletwa hotsprings?
+
Around 12 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 MATERUNI waterfalls, coffe tour & kikuletwa hotsprings 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 Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs. 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.
