Marangu Day Trip Tour

The Marangu Culture Tour is an immersive experience that takes you through the heart of the Chagga people's way of life. We'll begin our journey early in the morning, driving alongside the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro as the sun rises over the green montane forest. Our first stop will be the Marangu Gate, which marks the start of the Marangu climbing route. You'll feel the excitement in the air as climbers prepare to ascend the mighty Kilimanjaro.

Our next destination is a coffee farm where you'll learn about the local coffee-growing process. You'll see how the beans are grown, harvested, and processed to make the perfect cup of coffee. And of course, you'll get to try some for yourself! After learning about the local coffee culture, we'll make our way to a traditional Chagga restaurant for a delicious lunch. Whether you're a meat-eater or a vegetarian, there's something on the menu for everyone.

With our bellies full, we'll set off on a hike to the Ndoro Waterfalls. The thirty-minute walk through the lush green forest is the perfect way to work off your lunch. When we arrive at the waterfall, you can take a refreshing dip in the pool or simply admire the sparkling waters tumbling down the rocks. Our next stop is the Chagga Underground Caves, a fascinating network of tunnels built by the Chagga to protect themselves from the Maasai in earlier times. We'll spend some time exploring the Chagga Live Museum, an outdoor space that provides a glimpse into traditional Chagga life.

As we make our way back to Moshi, we'll stop for a taste of the local brew: banana beer or banana wine. This is banana country, after all, so it's the perfect way to cap off your day of cultural immersion. Sit back and relax on the drive back to Moshi, taking in the sights and sounds of the villages and foothills along the way. You'll return to your accommodation with a newfound appreciation for the rich culture and traditions of the Chagga people
