Materuni is a beautiful village located on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro in northern Tanzania, famous for its lush green landscapes, coffee farms, and the stunning Materuni Waterfalls. It offers one of the most authentic cultural and nature experiences near Moshi town.

The village is home to the Chagga people, who are well known for their traditional farming methods and rich cultural heritage.
