On the way back when he said he knew a shortcut to the hotel I was skeptical but we ended up saving 30min. The highlight of the day was definitely the waterfall and the local lunch afterwards.”

3.Materuni waterfalls coffee tour & Chemka hot springs Day trip

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 131 reviews · from $95

From Arusha, your private group visits Materuni village for a waterfall hike and hands-on Chagga coffee experience, then continues to Chemka Hot Springs for a swim. Guide Owen has led some departures. Allow a full day, bring sturdy shoes and swimwear, and expect a rough drive to the springs.

“My guide was great! Scenery was magnificent, and the springs are a great refreshing way to refresh after the hike. Its a bumpy ride. But well worth it. The ONLY warning I would give is despite what is listed, this is not a 4-6 hour tour. Its 10-12. I looked at 4-6 hours and told myself "no way" and I was right. So this is your entire day. But well worth it.”
