Marangu Day Trip
Overview
Marangu Day Trip
Marangu town nestles on the fertile slopes of majestic Mount Kilimanjaro, and it’s brimming with tradition. You’ll explore the culture and terrifying history of the Chagga Tribe and you’ll take a short but delightful hike in the lush green landscape to a sparkling waterfall but, don’t worry, you won’t run out of energy because you’ll visit a coffee plantation and have the chance to roast and make your own coffee. You will have the whole day of getting to know the history background of Marangu people and to taste the local banana beer but don’t get drunk as you taste it.

TOUR ITINERARY
We’ll leave Moshi and our first stop is the Marangu Gate at 7:00AM, which is the starting point for the Marangu climbing route. The mood is catching and we may have to bustle you back into the van before you take off up the mountain!
Marangu is coffee country, and the beans are locally grown, blended and roasted. You will get to learn how the locals grow, harvest and process their coffee beans that grow in this perfect climate. You’ll even get the chance to try your hand at roasting and preparing your own cup of lovely, fresh coffee.
So our next stop is for a tasty and traditionally Chagga lunch at our favourite little restaurant, where you’ll be served a hot meal.
Next, we’ll depart for the Ndoro Waterfalls for some fresh air. The thirty-minute hike to the base of the waterfall will lead us through lush green forest and a steep climb down to the rocks.
You deserve a rest after the long day of seeing the Marangu Village and its whole history.
