About
This very remarkable Waterfall is one of the tallest in the area, spewing crystal clear glacier water 80m into its basin. The lovely and attractive path leading to Materuni Waterfall is located 2400m above sea level.
It crosses through valleys and hills covered by tropical rainforest, past coffee, banana and avocado “shambas”, the Kiswahili word for farms. On a clear day, great views of Kibo and Moshi town can be seen. The hike to the base of the Waterfall can be demanding at some point and hiking boots are recommended especially during wet seasons. As this trip is so close to Moshi town it is ideal for those people with limited time but who would still like to see some of the nature and beauty that this region of Tanzania has to offer.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- J9194QIjenk0 contributionsTrip of a lifetime!Thank you Alfa!! We cannot say enough about our incredible Tanzania adventure safari!! Alfa curated an 8-day safari to include a first day visit to the hot springs and local eatery, then 6 days on safari to Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and Mayanara, and a visit with a bush tribe and an iron working tribe. The lodgings and food were lovely and the weather was perfect! It was an amazing cultural experience for our family as well as a stunning photo safari in this lovely country. We saw the Big 5 in close proximity and countless other animals. Alfa and his driver Renatos were knowledgeable, attentive, engaging and professional….they made the trip extra special and we are extremely grateful for the memories we made. Asante sana!Written 4 March 2025
- Travel5434510 contributionsPerfect activity, amazing tour leadersWe were a group of 5 people with just half-day until leave Moshi. We made a walking tour in Rau Forest. We enjoy a lot lesrnig about nature and species (birds, monkeys, ancient trees). Alpha and his team (lebahati) adjust our activity according our plans and we were always in touch to make It Easy. 100% recommendableWritten 11 January 2025
- Julieta J0 contributionsLiving together and learning more about this tribe was an unforgettable experience.We had a wonderful time on our visit to the Masai tribe. We had Alfa as our tour guide. He did a brilliant job organizing our 2 day tour to this villa. We really enjoyed it. The place was simply magical! Alfa really made our tour special. He is very attentive, kind, patient and he has excellent attention to detail. He just made a big difference visiting a place with a local tour guide. He can see paths unknown to most tourists. His service is highly recommended! We would definitely book with him again.Written 12 July 2024
- Julieta J0 contributionsThis place is not very touristy yet, but we went to it thanks to the agency that knows unknown placesWe also did our tour to Lake Chala with the Oseroktrips agency and our guide was Alfa. I was amazed by this walk full of incredible views. We always walked at our own pace and always felt safe. Beautiful views and wonderful memories will live in our heartsWritten 11 July 2024
- Julieta J0 contributionsA long walk but with a path full of beautiful views and nature“This tour was a fabulous day. I would recommend it to anyone. Francis and Jackie, the tour guides, were very kind, friendly and knowledgeable about all aspects of the tour. Happy with this tour and many thanks to Oseroktrips, the best travel agency.Written 11 July 2024
- Krystel24080 contributionsAbsolutely AMAZING!For a truly exceptional Tanzanian experience, choose Oserok Trips. Alpha and his team go above and beyond to provide an unforgettable adventure. Their knowledge and passion for the country are evident in every aspect of the trip, from the safari to the Maasai Village visit. A must-do for any traveler seeking a truly unique experience.Written 8 June 2024
- beatao8160 contributionsOserok Trips will guarantee your trip to Tanzania is a magical, once in a lifetime experience!If you have been considering a trip to Tanzania, and are still on the fence, I am here to tell you not to worry and go for it! It is a magical place, not only because of the incredible animal and plant life, or the amazing landscapes, but above all, because of the wonderful and friendly people. The man who will guarantee this trip will be an incredible, once in a lifetime experience, is Alpha and his great team at Oserok Trips. Even if you only have a few hours, Alpha will fill them with activities as best as possible, and if you are on a two-week vacation, your time will be organized in great detail according to your needs and interests. Alpha is a wonderful guide and companion for whatever kind of trip you have envisioned. He will pick you up from the airport, arrange accommodation with local residents, answer your questions, take care of you as best as he can, take care of all your needs, and dispel any concerns. Oserok Trips can also recommend various activities in each area you visit, but beyond that they will also show you the details that could easily go unnoticed by visitor. As I write this, I already want to go back, explore the places I didn’t have enough time to see, and smell grass of the Serengeti again. My husband, daughter and I traveled around Tanzania for two weeks. We spent the first eight days with Alpha and his great team, the next with his wonderful life companion and guide Dominika. We drove through Tarangire National Park, the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area under the care of Alpha, a skilled driver, and a cook who prepared incredible meals for us even in the middle of the wilderness. There was no moment when we did not feel safe, even when a dozen lions were hunting a buffalo a few meters away from us. We joked that even this amazing event was planned by our guides for 4:06 pm on January 23, 2024. Witnessing such a hunt, of course, can never be guaranteed, but with a team like Oserok Trips, their expert eyes will point out every lion's ear in the waist-deep grass. After some time you too will learn to spot whole groups of animals thanks to their experienced eye! Don’t let the fatigue of travel, the dust and mud, and everything that deviates from the routine of your everyday life, dissuade you from taking this trip. Don’t delay (like us) and the rest will be taken care of by Alpha and his team at Oserok Trips.Written 7 March 2024
- Lucy_Anne_Mel0 contributionsGreat local community option for those after an authentic experienceCommunications prompt and accurate - pay attention to the description to ensure it is for you. I had a fantastic day visiting a Maasai tribal village and surrounds but be aware this is not the sort of tour where you "attend a show" of the lifestyle - you join the tribe members for part of their day which I found really interesting and informative despite the language barrier. Employs local staff and supports the community which for me is a bonus. Wouldn't hesitate to book for a longer tour in the area if I get the chance.Written 24 January 2024
- kabik20140 contributionsA nice day to rememberAlpha, the manager is very friendly and patient. I had one day for a trip in Arusha with my niece and a small budget and he accommodated my needs. We went to the hotsprings and visited a park that isn't in his offer, but he was able to arrange it. I did not had to take care of anything. In addition, Alpha is.keen to exchange about his rich culture and his full of interesting histories, but he also left us enjoy the activities and understands when you need privacy, I appreciate that. In a nutshell, I really recommend the Oserok trips.Written 25 December 2023
- 929trianah0 contributionsUnforgettable experience!Great experience I highly recommend anyone who would like to enjoy a safari in great company! They made the whole experience for me and my family something we’ll never forget and they became part of the family 😊 Ashe naleng’ Thanks a lot, the whole family wishes you all the bestWritten 15 October 2023
- marymG6602GF0 contributionsWaterfalls and coffeeMy dad and I went on the waterfalls and coffee tour with Alpha and the oserok team this summer. The tour was perfect from start to finish, alpha organized everything better than we could have imagined. He picked us up and took us on a beautiful drive up the mountain and explained/ answered questions about the landscape as we went. On the hike we were with Lebahati, he was a wonderful and charming guide. He was able to keep us going at an enjoyable pace and told us many fun y and interesting facts on the way! The lunch after the hike was great too- many different dishes and we had so much fun learning about local kahawa!! I could’t recommend any other company more!!Written 5 October 2023
- P1849LAjanm0 contributionsAbsolutely wonderful experiences. Highly recommended!We did the Kilimanjaro, 4 days safari and a coffee plantation tour - all with Alpha and his team at Oserok Trips. We are so lucky that we chose his company (based on recommendation from a friend), as our journeys was absolutely wonderful! On Kilimanjaro, they was so helpful making sure that we reach the summit. The food on the mountain was so delicious thanks to Salim - the chef. The whole crew was perfect - always cheering us up, always smiling. And then the safari - Alpha made sure that we get a solid guide/driver who knows everything there is to know about the animals. Always in a good mood, and he spotted animals that we would definitely miss. We saw so many lions, some of them eating their prey and one time we saw the hunt for zebras! We even saw a family of cheetahs. The safari was one of the best experiences of our lives, I'll definitely come back if I ever have children, so they can see it too. And it'll definitely be with Oserok Trips again. Highly recommended, you won't make a mistake!Written 22 September 2023
- kristinadR2185AN0 contributionsMateruni waterfall and coffe tripwe went to Materuni waterfall and on a coffee tour with Alfi as guide☺️ It was a fantastic experience with beautiful nature! Alfi gave us extensive information along the way about the place and the flora. We later got to make coffee with the local population, which was great fun and educational. The day also included a traditional Swahili lunch which was very good💚 Really recommend! not a crazy price either!Written 16 March 2023
- MaddyCK0 contributions7 Days hike of Kilimandjaro : Amazing experienceWe have hiked Kilimandjaro during 7 days thanks to the perfect organization of Alpha. Everything was well planned. The customer service and contacts we had were of excellent quality. Our guides Francis and Dan were very competent and motivated us a lot to make it to the top with lots of good energy. We could be fully confident in them which is very important in extreme conditions. The crew was professional and friendly. All of this made the expedition an unforgettable experience.Written 7 March 2023
- Z3914XSjuliee0 contributionsOserok welcomed me to Africa as family!I traveled to Africa for the first time last year and took two day trips with Alpha. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide. He joyfully shared the history and culture of Tanzania and his Masai tribe with me . I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to see the astonishing beauty of Tanzania and to find a wonderful local guide in Alpha and his company. I highly recommend Oserok Trips!!!Written 24 January 2023

The tour to Materuni with Alfa as our guide was a wonderful experience. We were able to plan everything in advance with him and he was especially flexible with our wishes. We would especially like to highlight that he knows all the important places very well and knew how to explain everything. We also visited a coffee farm where we learned the coffee process, with a fun atmosphere. All in all, a wonderful tour with an extremely pleasant and knowledgeable guide. We can recommend this tour to anyone without restrictions.

We knew alpha by the publications of abenafrica. we are so happy to have asked for his services we spent two wonderful days with Alpha. On the first day we went to visit the Materuni waterfalls. During our hike Crossing the tropical forest Alpha informed us about the plants we found on our way their uses and benefits. We ate Tanzanian specialties and we finished. A fabulous morning that ended at the coffee plantation to learn about how to make coffee and taste it in a festive atmosphere and in music. At the end Alpha took us to the rooftoop for haha I can't mean everything to keep a little mystery, but it was beautiful.
On the second day we went to the kikuletwa hotspring it’s natural hotsprings to the relaxing swimming program with a very good lunch. Alpha is an explicit, pleasant and funny guide. We are already planning to come back to go on a safari with him. See you soon Alpha Asante Sana ( Friends Travelling from Paris)

We had a wonderful day at Materuni Waterfulls,
Alpha was away for a safari, but we were with his team, our guide Samson was perfect, he knows everything, we had very great conversation. the lunch in the village was delicious and we also had quality time during the coffee ceremony.
We also had a chance to meet Alpha a few days before, Tanzanian people are the most kind but Alpha is on another level! I definitively recommend him, It was the highlight of our trip!

We had an amazing trip with Alpha. We met in Moshi and talked about our plans and wishes. Alpha helped us very well and the next day we had an awesome trip with him. He's very friendly, kind and funny. Everything was well organised and we will never forget our trip with Alpha. We still have very nice contact and we really enjoy it! If you want to book a trip, don't hesitate to contact Oserok Trips / Alpha. You won't regret it. He's on top of my list of contacts if I want to plan anything fun in Tanzania!

He did provide me with a lot of information about the nature during our walk. And of course the nature surrounding itself is so beautiful. It was a pleasure to do this trip. Highly recommend.

This tour offered a wonderful chance to see and explore the forests at the base of Kilimanjaro, while also providing an opportunity to learn about the rich cultures of the area. Alpha and his brother were very knowledgeable. The tour is not rushed, with plenty of time to relax and explore. Highly recommend for anyone passing through Moshi.
