Arrow Trekking and Safaris – Discover Africa’s top safari destinations with expertly crafted itineraries.
Embark on a breathtaking adventure to Materuni, a charming village nestled in the lush foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. This one-day tour offers the perfect blend of nature, culture, and adventure, as you hike through the stunning landscape to the majestic Materuni Waterfall and experience an authentic coffee-making session with the Chagga people. Ideal for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and cultural enthusiasts, this tour provides an unforgettable escape into Tanzania’s rich heritage and natural beauty.
Your journey begins with a morning pickup from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi. A scenic drive through the picturesque countryside will take you to Materuni Village, located just a short distance from Moshi town. Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by your local guide, who will provide a brief introduction to the day’s activities and an overview of the village’s cultural significance.
Your adventure starts with a guided hike through lush banana and coffee plantations, surrounded by stunning landscapes and fresh mountain air. The trek to Materuni Waterfall takes approximately 45-60 minutes, with opportunities to spot colorful birds, small wildlife, and learn about local flora along the way.
As you approach the waterfall, the sound of cascading water grows louder, revealing the spectacular 80-meter-high Materuni Waterfall. Here, you can relax, take photos, and, if you’re feeling adventurous, enjoy a refreshing swim in the natural pool at the base of the falls. The cool, crystal-clear water provides a perfect break before heading back to the village.
After the waterfall adventure, you’ll visit a local coffee farm to experience the traditional coffee-making process. The Chagga people, who have been growing coffee for generations, will guide you through each step—from harvesting the ripe coffee cherries to roasting and grinding them using age-old techniques. You’ll even have the chance to participate in the process and prepare your own freshly brewed cup of organic Tanzanian coffee, known for its rich aroma and smooth taste.
As you sip your freshly brewed coffee, you’ll be entertained with traditional Chagga songs and dances, making this an immersive cultural experience

Arrow Trekking was recommended to me by a friend who climbed Kilimanjaro a few years ago — and she was absolutely right!Isaak is an amazing host: incredibly dedicated, always available, and everything was perfectly organized.The 7-day trek was an unforgettable experience. Every day we arrived to perfectly set-up tents, and the food… truly next level. It’s unbelievable how they managed to pull this off time and time again, right in the middle of nature!A huge thank you to Isaak and the entire team of guides (shoutout to Issa!) and porters who made this trip so special. A once-in-a-lifetime experience I’ll never forget!Posted on Fabian VVerified Arrow trekking - Safari + Kilimanjaro hike Arrow trekking is a highly professional agency where client is king. We were assisted by Isaack throughout our whole stay in Tanzania. He arranged our safari, Mt. Kilimanjaro hike, accommodation, and transport. Everything went very smooth and Isaack was always available when we had questions, we could count on him when needed. Furthermore, his English is very good and he handles in a transparent way. Overall, we had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend Arrow trekking for people looking to visit Tanzania!Posted on Miria vVerified Incredible 4-Day Camping Safari The 4-day camping safari was truly incredible! It was full of adventure from start to finish—sleeping under the stars, waking up to the sounds of the wild, connecting with the other people in the same safari and exploring breathtaking landscapes. Our guide was fantastic, and we saw SO much wildlife; the Big Five but also much more! The only downside was that the itinerary and campsite were different from what I had originally agreed on, and I only found out at the start of the safari. Still, the experience itself was so great that it didn’t take away from the trip at all.Highly recommended for anyone looking for a raw, exciting, and unforgettable safari adventure!Posted on Clement DVerified Great ascent! Great experience with Arrow trekking! I recommend this company!Many thanks to our guide LA MACHINE and the whole team!Posted on Sightseer39209425821Verified Kilimanjaro hicking & Safari I booked 5 days safari and 5 days climbing to Kilimanjaro summit by Marangu Route from Arrow Trekking & Safaris. It were amazing experiences. Everything was perfectly orginise. The driver took me from Kilimanjaro Airport and after all, he brought me to Kilimanjaro Airport. During the hiking guids took care me, they checked my condition and health by pulse oximeter. I felt very safty. I recommend Isaack and his office if you are planning a safari and Kilimanjaro hicking in Tanzania.Posted on Toby WVerified Highly recommend Sensational experience climbing to the summit of Kilii!10/10 would recommend Arrow Trekking.Great food, camping gear, and people!Posted on Vittal MVerified My family and I highly recommend! Thanks for the trip of a lifetime Arrow Trekking & Safaris driver, we met in Arusha and took off, traveling to Tarangire NP, Lake Eyasi, the Serengeti, the Ngorongoro Crater, Mount Meru, and Lake Natron before flying to Zanzibar. We experienced how the Hadzabe tribes live while on a day-long culture tour near Lake Eyasi; the highlights for that day included my sister getting "married" to a Hanzabe tribesman and our failure at using a bow. I was even able to buy one of the Hadzabe instruments with the help of Alex, our local guide. Also, according to Mr lsaack, we were super lucky, as we were witness to both a leopard eating in a tree and a lion using our vehicle as shade while traveling through the Serengeti. The time we spent in Tanzania was off-the-charts amazing and heaping in culture. Arrow Trekking $ Safaris is full of friendly staff, who are willing to work with budgetary restraints and add customizable additions to trips. My family and I highly recommend! Thanks for the trip of a lifetimePosted on Prajwal GVerified Amazing safari day was great Arrow Trekking & Safaris had offered plenty of activities during our trip in Tanzania such as an hot air balloon ride, visit to the local Masai village and of course the brilliant safari. Honestly, if you are debating on whether to come here, don’t and just come here. I cannot recommend this company enough.Posted on Imre BakkerVerified That was very incredible! We traveled to the Serengeti, Kilimanjaro, and Zanzibar, all of which had the most incredible accommodations. We learned a great deal from this adventure. Which accommodation should we select? Which is the best option as they are all so different from one another? What time of day would be best to go? How many nights should we spend in each location? When planning an amazing safari, the little things matter most: travel dates, packing lists, bush aircraft, and distances. We heartily recommend Arrow Trekking and Safaris.
