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

Review of Materuni Waterfalls, Chagga coffee, and Chemka hot springs near Arusha, with honest advice on hiking, roads, timing, and value.

“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.”
