Embark on a rejuvenating journey from the village of Materuni to the awe-inspiring Kuringe waterfall.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Nestled near Moshi, a town close to Arusha, Materuni waterfall offers an excellent opportunity for travelers seeking a close encounter with Mount Kilimanjaro. On clear days, the site provides a breathtaking view of Kibo, one of Kilimanjaro’s renowned peaks. A scenic two-hour drive from Arusha brings you to the picturesque village of Materuni at the base of Mount Kilimanjaro.
Blessed with fertile soil, Materuni remains green throughout the year, inviting visitors to delve into the cultural heritage of the Chagga tribe residing in the area. The village treats you to a stunning panorama overlooking Moshi and Kilimanjaro. A knowledgeable local guide escorts you on a captivating walk from Materuni to the majestic seventy-meter-high waterfall, the highest in this region, where thousands of liters of crystal-clear water from Kilimanjaro glaciers cascade with incredible force.
Situated at an altitude of 2500 meters above sea level, the path winds through valleys and tropical rainforests, offering alternating glimpses of splendid landscapes and avocado plantations. Along the way, savor banana beer while the guide shares insights into life in Materuni and the diverse nature of the surroundings. If you fancy a refreshing dip, don’t forget to bring a towel to cool off in the ice-cold waters of the waterfall.
Upon returning to the village, conclude your day with a demonstration of coffee roasting and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed Materuni coffee, complemented by a delightful local lunch. This excursion promises not only natural beauty but also a rich cultural experience.

Trip3635262024-01-28Amazing Safari guide and experience! This was the best Safari experience! Our guide, Mandela, was amazing! His knowledge of the animals and plants really added a great amount of value. Mandela consistently went above and beyond to ensure that we got the shot and an opportunity to see all of the beautiful creatures and scenery that Tanzania had to offer. Our private chef, Ashraf always prepared delicious meals for us! We highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda for your Safaris!!!
Izzy v2024-01-24Best safari ever - Jan 2024 We had the most amazing time on our first ever safari. Andrew our safari guide was so welcoming and lovely and we really enjoyed getting to know him. He always went above and beyond to try and find animals and we had some amazing experiences. The accommodation was amazing also. Everywhere we went the staff were so kind and friendly. We will hopefully be coming back in the future! We highly recommend Serengeti Wakanda - we couldn’t have asked for a better time!
Max C2024-01-24Couldn't recommend the safari more Had the best 5 days on safari in Northern Tanzania with Serengeti Wakanda. Couldn't fault our guide Andrew who was super knowledgeable about all the wildlife, always knew the best spots to be and could spot a lion on the other side of the national park! They are super organised and able to quickly arrange the right accommodation and schedule to suit your needs. Would definitely recommend choosing this company if you are looking to do a safari in Tanzania, you will see so much and not be disappointed.
Robin T2024-01-20Wakanda are The Perfect trusted partner (and not all safari firms are). Perfect and trusted Safari partners. Wakanda are a well run and diligent Safari company based put of Arusha. Their cars are 4wd (not all companies are) and their drivers (particularly our driver/guide Pastory) was faultless. Experienced guides are a necessity as they have connections, know how to get out of mud and vehicle situations, and have tracking expertise to direct you to the wildlife (and big 5). Either when there are few other jeeps around (and less shared intel) , or when there are many (and a rush to get to the best spots) a good guide is invaluable. Wakanda were well organised, picked good accomodation, and were well rpepared and helpful in all aspects. Very trusted and strongly recommend. We travelled in January 2024 for 4days with fly out from Zanzivar to serengeti, ngorogoro crater and tangire nature reserve.
Isabelle P2024-01-18Great Value Safari Experience with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris Our 5-day budget private safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris was truly unforgettable. The itinerary took us to iconic wildlife destinations, with the game drives being the highlight—getting up close with the Big Five was a mesmerizing experience. Our guide, Benji, and chef, Nsanya, made the trip even more special. We're grateful for their expertise, kindness, and the unique insights they shared during the safari. Despite being a budget option, the accommodations exceeded expectations in terms of comfort and cleanliness. The food, prepared by our private chef, was a standout—delightful local meals that were both abundant and delicious! Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safaris lived up to their promise of delivering an exceptional wildlife experience. The value for money was excellent, making it an affordable and thoroughly enjoyable safari adventure. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking a memorable wildlife expedition.
Leisha d2024-01-15Best Safari experience for a family This was the most Incredible experience for our family. Possibly our best holiday ever - such a great holiday for adults and children (ours were 11 and 14 and completely blown away). Our guide Andrew was incredible and we felt completely safe and comfortable from the minute the safari with Serengeti Wakanda started. He was so knowledgeable and friendly and incredible with our kids. We would recommend him highly and suggest that you request him! He taught us so much about Africa, the culture and the animals and he knew the parks so well as he has so many years of experience. He took us to the best areas and found us rare sightings. The accomodation was all perfect - incredibly clean and always helpful and friendly staff that were so kind to my children . We stayed at Mawe Mawe for 2 nights - a hidden gem with incredible views and food and beautiful rooms and restaurant. The tented sites (Signature and Angata) were both magical and were like hotels and felt comfortable and safe with all the modern conveniences. We had elephants outside our tents and buffalo nearby - and were always safely escorted to and from our tents at night. We had a gourmet hot lunch every day in the National Parks with even table cloths and hot coffee. Serengeti Wakanda made certain that all meals were gluten free (suitable for a coeliac and a picky eater like our son!). Andrew went to every effort to make our trip comfortable he even made sure our car was fully stocked with drinks and always clean (not easy when on safari!!). We recommend Serengeti Wakanda tours and especially Andrew for an incredible holiday you will never forget. We saw 4 different parks and also had a perfect amount of time in the crater/caldera seeing every animal you can imagine because Andrew made it his mission to find them for us. If you want a well organised, comfortable and safe safari tour with an excellent company, then you should book with Serengeti Wakanda!! We saw lots of bigger operators but they did not seem to provide the personal service we received. We are so pleased we chose Wakanda!!
NIKOLAS S2024-01-11Top top safari Just got back from our first ever safari and the experience was amazing. After searching and comparing several companies, we booked through Wakanda and we did not regret. Their organization is beyond expectations, they do everything to make sure you have the most memorable experience. They also helped us throughout the rest of our trip in Tanzania, and we had always the best accommodation, food and guides. Big thanks to our safari guide Benji who always did the extra mile for us and made sure to we did not miss anything.
Kevin K2024-01-11Amazing Safari Experience My wife and I did a 2 Day Safari Trip departing from and returning to Zanzibar. It was a seamless process booking the trip and it was well organized from start to finish. Our Tour Guide Bashiri was amazing and took great care of us. He was very engaging as he shared his vast knowledge of the culture and animals throughout the whole 2 days. He is truly the BEST!! We look forward to returning and doing the Serengeti Safari in the very near future. We highly recommend this company! Thanks Bashiri for everything!!!
Janine2024-01-10Extraordinary 5-Day Safari with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari We've booked a 5-day safari trip (Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro) with Serengeti Wakanda Tours & Safari. When we booked the tour we got an immediate response. Everything was well organized & explained in a travel overview document. The whole staff was very friendly & helpful from the beginning till the end. Our guide Edward had a profound knowledge about the wildlife and the country. Even though the roads in the park became very muddy he always managed to drive us through safely. He also drove very cleverly which made it possible for us to see the interessting animals before all the other jeeps where on site. During our journey we had deep conversations. Edward found a good balance between professionalism and friendship. Our chef, Asharaff, always treated us with various delicious 3-5 course dishes. Overall we had an extraoridinary adventure with Serengeti Wakanda Tours. We booked several activities abroads and this was definitely the most exciting trip. Big thanks to Serengeti Wankanda Tours and especially to Edward and Asharaff - you made this journey unique for us.
