    What you'll see and do

    1. Kikuletwa Hotsprings

      The hot springs are a hidden little tropical oasis found approximately 1 hour drive from Moshi. The journey there alone is interesting- driving through Maasai land, past bomas and young warriors herding cattle. You will find yourself wondering how on earth you could find this lush place in such a dry land, scattered with Baobab trees and acacias… and then you will come upon this tropical little paradise full of palms and crystal clear waters. The warm (not necessarily hot!) and fresh waters are great for a relaxing swim and you can picnic under the trees, sometimes along with a group of vervet monkeys. Spend as long or as little as you would like here taking in great views of both Mt Meru and Mt Kilimanjaro before returning to Arusha

    2. Materuni Waterfalls

      Materuni Village Coffee and Waterfalls Day Trip Materuni village is a beautifully lush area to visit on the outskirts of Moshi Here you can really get to grips with the life of the local Chagga people wandering through the village and passing their homesteads Located in the picturesque foothills of Kilimanjaro Materuni has managed to retain its authentic edge over some of the other tourist attractions as it is not one of the routes for climbing Kilimanjaro Here your guide will explain all aspects of the Chagga homestead including the other crops that they grow aside from coffee You will get to see how the coffee is produced from picking the bean to roasting and then drinking a delicious cup yourself.

    Great day at Materuni waterfalls

    We had a great time visiting the waterfalls with Victor as our guide. He made sure we had as much time as we wanted at every stop. The different activities during the day were a good mix of nature and culture and we would recommend this tour. We very much enjoyed it!

    Beautiful day with beautiful waterfalls

    Very nice trip, the waterfall is really beautiful and the walk to him not too hard but also not too easy need good shoes. The hot springs is nice and refreshing but you need a good luck because we had a lot of people and that not fun It’s taken two hours from one attraction to the other The lunch we had were very good and the driver that was also our guide was very good driver and nice I really recommend this trip with this company

    Materuni waterfalls

    We went with Germán to the Materuni waterfalls, coffee ritual, local food in Materuni and the hot springs and everything great, highly recommended. German is a very nice person and with a lot of humor, he is a Maasai who also explains typical things of his tribe.

    Nzuri sana!

    Thanks to the excellent organisation we had an amazing experience on our safari trip. I highly recommend Meru Slopes, Mr. Geofrey was very kind and answered to all my questions before the tour and on arrival in Arusha. The drivers were very friendly and helpful, cars and structures were clean, food was good. We saw lots of animals in the Parks, our guides gave us all the explanations about the animals and took a lot of time for us. Thank you very much for making this an unforgettable experience!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review. It was a pleasure to host you. It's so good to read that you enjoyed your safaris with us We hope to see you again in Tanzania. Kind regards Geofrey Nasari Director and sales

    Materuni Waterfalls, Kikuletwa Chemka Hot springs, Coffee tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

    How much does Materuni Waterfalls, Kikuletwa Chemka Hot springs, Coffee tour 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, Kikuletwa Chemka Hot springs, Coffee tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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, Kikuletwa Chemka Hot springs, Coffee tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 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, Kikuletwa Chemka Hot springs, Coffee 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 Waterfalls, Kikuletwa Chemka Hot springs, Coffee tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Materuni Waterfalls, Kikuletwa Chemka Hot springs, Coffee tour?

    +

    Around 2 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Materuni Waterfalls, Kikuletwa Chemka Hot springs, Coffee 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 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.
