This is the third time that I have done safaris and the coffee tour with Materuni Tours.
The coffee tour takes you through the village of Materuni, through a beautiful landscape to a huge waterfall. The hike is not demanding and is beautiful. You are also shown how coffee grows and how it is made, or you can make it yourself. We really liked that!
After that we did a 4-day safari, which was simply fantastic. We had very nice accommodations and a cool car with lots of space. Since we are bird lovers, we also really liked the fact that our driver was extremely knowledgeable about the Tanzanian bird world and always showed us the animals in a book.
After the safari we did a 3.5-day hike in the Usambara Mountains with Materuni Tours. It was amazing!! The nature is fantastic and we hiked through many villages and got a great insight into Tanzanian culture. Our guide Francis was very, very nice and funny. He made the best guacamole in the world and was very attentive. We saw lots of chameleons and had an incredible view of over 300 km.
I can only recommend Materuni Tours, everything was very well organized and even when we wanted to make a few spontaneous changes, they were immediately taken into account and implemented. I also think it's good that it's a Tanzanian provider and that this boosts the economy in the country.

Unforgettable experience climbing Kilimanjaro and doing 5 day safari. The mountain team were 1st class and do everything for you on the mountain so all you need to do is walk, giving you the best chance of summiting. Safari was a really fun was of spending the 2nd week, we saw lots of amazing animals including the big 5, and also nice way to meet other travellers.
Materuni Tours provide a very personalised experience, and will look to arrange anything you want at short notice. If you’re a solo traveller and looking to be part of a group, best check first when there are sign ups and for which routes, as there’s no guarantee there will be a group if you select your own dates. Also the accommodation is nice but a bit out of town and feels like a safe house, so if you’re wanting to try and link up with other travellers/climbers then worth arranging a hostel in Moshi. Otherwise a fantastic experience!

We booked a Kilimanjaro 7 days Machame tour with Materuni tours. One word: Amazing.
The contact with Ambrose was perfect before arrival. The days before our tour Ambrose gave us a briefing about our climbing tour what was very helpful. The tour itself was incredible. The guides helped us so much to reach to the summit. Everything was organised so well. Really recommend this organisation also because it's local!

Thank you Ambrose for organizing our big excursion. From the prep lead up to the day we arrived, to pick up from airport, accomodation and finally the 7 day lemosho hike, we felt very taken care of and this was really a trip of a lifetime. Materuni Tours was the best decision we made. Thank to the entire team.

We made a more days tour. We were going to Arusha National Park, Tarangire Park, Serengeti and the Ngorongoro.
We had a great guide Nuru who knew so many things and tell us about all the parks.
We saw all of the Big 5 that was amazing. I can recommend this safari tour!!!
Materuni thx

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had in life was climbing the Kilimanjaro. Materuni Tours is a well organized local company and it did everything great during my journey. Ambrose was always very attentive and took good care preparing the trekking. Emanuel was an amazing guide and helped me a lot during that 8 days. All the team did a great job: the guide, the cook and the porters!! None of that could have happened without them. I highly recommend Materuni Tours!

My husband and I traveled to Africa for the first time for our honeymoon. We only had two full days in Kilimanjaro and wanted to make the most of it before we left for Zanzibar. I contacted Ambrose because of the amazing reviews on tripadvisor. He was very very responsive and flexible. His tour guides were always on time and very friendly and knowledgeable. We did the Arusha park tour and the Materuni village and coffee tour. His prices are very reasonable and service was excellent. He picked us up and dropped us off to our hotel every day and even dropped us to the airport (after checking that our flight was on time). His team went out of his way for us - especially Mkoni and Joseph.
I would highly recommend his company to anybody. He himself is very knowledgeable. We plan on going back to tanzania and will definitely be contacting him again!

I went to the Materuni waterfalls on a day trip with Materuni Tours and had a spectacular time.
We started the morning with a trip to a local coffee farm where we could watch the coffee being roasted and get a sample to drink.
We left for a 20 min hike to the waterfalls along a trail thru the woods. It was the most amazing sight to see the falls peeking thru the trees as we walked along the trail. When our group got to the falls we were amazed to see a table set out in full view of the falls and our hot lunch paraded to us by the chef himself. After lunch it was time for a dip in the chilled water, just what we needed on a hot day.
Materuni tours made sure we had a most wonderful day, with great food and beautiful views.
Thanks to Materuni Tours for a most spectacular day trip.
I highly recommend it!!!

Asante sana Ambrose and Tori at Materuni Tours office!
You helped us arrange a well tailored fabulous combination of Materuni waterfall tour, Kilimanjaro climb and three national parks Safari!
Asante sana to the best Kilimanjaro guides Ramadhani and Andrew, and all others in your and our team! You made this an unforgettable happy experience, and made us all reach Uhuru peak! Just fantastic!
Asante sana Mkonyi, the best and most friendly safari guide! You gave us a safe and happy safari. Spotting the "Big five" +more with fantastic photos. You drove us safely to our camps, despite the unexpected rainstorm that blew our first camp away, without getting stuck in the mud (which other jeeps did). Always with a happy smile.
Despite our unusual requirements, Tori and Ambrose at Materuni Tours tailored us a just perfect experience exactly as we needed. Three people from three different destinations climbing Kilimanjaro together. And not the same three people doing a one-way Safari from Mwanza through three national parks Serengeti, Ngorongoro via Tarangire to the JRO airport. We felt that anything could have been arranged, and so it was.
Tori answered all our questions clearly and promptly, and made us feel comfortable and well informed. (There are quite some details to be aware of and choices to make, and all was very well taken care of)
The bank transfer of the deposit, felt at first a bit uncertain as creditcards are more common in Sweden. But the banktransfer worked just flawless.
We will definitely contact Materuni Tours the next time - or rather Tori and Ambrose, as they feel more like friends than a company.

I just started looking and am rather overwhelmed by all of the choices out there. Wondering if anyone is comfortable giving me a ballpark cost of the tour including guide, accommodation and food. Most of the tours online don't include the price until you give out your info and I just want to have a rough idea of what it is going to run. Sounds like such an amazing experience!

Materuni were flawless in listening to our desires for Safari and incorporating our budget into a tailored itinerary. The best part was being able to communicate effectively. Communication is crucial in Africa and I found it particularly hard to come by with other companies. Things go wrong all the time and being able to sort out any problems, small or large, made a huge difference. The only downside is the trade between flexibility and travelling with a group. We chose to do Safari on our own, which meant having a car to ourselves and ultimate freedom in logistics. For Kilimanjaro, Materuni offered the best price (they also pay their staff appropriately), but they could not guarantee a group trip on the dates we needed. We chose Ultimate Kilimanjaro for $3000US (Lemosho route 8 days). The group aspect was phenomenal and the provisions were excellent. The biggest disappointment from Ultimate Kilimanjaro was discovering they only pay their staff US$3-5/day. They are members of the porters association, however. Tips for Kili - 1. Take a down inflatable sleeping mat, THIS IS A MUST 2. Tip well or donate clothes/ gear to your porter and staff 3. Take a wide top Nalgene bottle for summit night (standard water bottles and camel back freeze). Enjoy!
