Materuni is next on your list and upon arrival, you will visit the waterfalls, which are around 40 minute's walk away. On the way, your guide will inform you about the culture of the Chagga, their village life and explain the surrounding fauna and flora. The views are truly breathtaking, and with some luck, you will see the summit of Kilimanjaro. When you reach the waterfalls, you will see that they are more than 80 meters high. The pool at the bottom of the waterfall is an inviting place for a refreshing swim so don‘t forget your swimwear! After the tour, we will experience a traditional Chagga lunch, taste our local banana beer and experience the coffee experience. Before you say goodbye, you can savour coffee and appreciate the views of the surrounding rainforest.

Giant baobab trees, bush savannah and the seasonal marshes add to the wonder of this nature reserve. The park is considered one of the best places to view elephants up close. The park is also home to buffaloes, zebras and wildebeests which are always closely followed by a range of predators such as lions. Leopards are seen now and then but cheetahs are rarely spotted. From the open roof of the safari vehicle, you will be able to absorb the landscape and watch the animals. In the late afternoon, you will leave the park and drive to the lodge, where you will overnight at Fanaka Lodge.
- Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Rise and shine! After breakfast at daybreak, you'll travel back to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before you drive down into the crater. The massive collapsed volcano is home to over 25,000 mammals ranging from the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard—to spotted hyenas, rare wild dogs and some of the more than 500 bird species of the area. After an extensive game drive and a picnic for lunch, you will leave the caldera in the afternoon. Head to the lodge for dinner and your overnight stay.

We truly believe that you can have a fantastic Tanzania safari at any time of year! Many of our guests book with us throughout the "long rains" of April and May, as well as the "short rains" of November. We make every effort to provide them with the greatest possible experience, even during the rainy season. The brief wet seasons are ideal for arranging a Tanzania Safari for bird watchers. The migratory birds can be seen during a rainstorm. However, the dry season is the best time to visit Tanzania.

The cost of a Tanzania Safari is influenced by various factors like activities chosen, accommodation type, trip duration, season, and group size. Consider budgeting starting from $500 per person daily as a general guide. Prices can also fluctuate based on the season: you might save during the rainy season but expect higher costs during prime wildebeest migration times. Camping safaris are often more affordable than luxury lodge safaris. Places like the Serengeti offer larger hotels that might be more budget-friendly.

I’d recommend their service anytime!VerifiedJulia S2023-11-22Extraordinary flexible and friendly We climbed Kilimanjaro thanks to Kizambi tours and it was a wonderful experience. The team was very nice, flexible and there for our needs and wishes. For example we decided to go up one day earlyer than planned and it was no problem even though decided quite spontaneously! We had quite a few changes like this in our plans and it was never a problem, the team adapted very well ("hakuna Matata"). So, the communication was very good and not complicated. When we had questions we could always ask our "manager" and he responded us very quickly. I felt safe and in good hands though we also had enough freedom to explore and do things by ourselves. Thanks for these beautiful holidays!VerifiedStefano P2023-11-09Four Parks in Six days We visited four National Parks and could see the Big Five thanks the professional skills of our guides.

An amazing experience that I would recommend everyone! We highly recommend this organization for any excursion offered. With a high reliability and clear instructions we together checked our gear and did a briefing on how the 7 day trek would look like. After six intense but rewarding days, the team helped us achieve our long-time dream of climbing the Kilimanjaro. We were humbled by the kindness and professionalism of our 10-man crew. Our two guides made it their sole purpose to get us to the roof of Africa and summit with succes.

We would definitely make use of this organization again upon another visit of Tanzania.VerifiedElisa S2023-09-16Best experience ever My partner and I stayed with Kisambi tour for a 6 days experience. Elisante organized everything for us, and even before the trip was always precise and fast in replying to our questions via messages. The tour included: the first day visiting Materuni waterfall and a coffee preparation experience accompanied by traditional songs and dances. The following day we went to hot spring and visiting a Masai Village. After this, we met out amazing guide Godlove and we started our 4 days safari. We visited Tarangire national park , Serengeti and Ngorogoro crater. It was without doubts, one of the best experiences of our lives. During the safari, we spent nights in campsites and we had a personal cook with us, Idd, who made the trip even better cooking traditional foods every day. We highly recommend travelling with Kisambi tour!VerifiedSusan K2023-09-14Amazing Waterfall and Coffee Roasting Experience Great, moderate hike to the stunning Materuni Falls. Along the way, our guide Godwin told us so much about the history of the area, and the local flowers, fruit, and birds. He was so knowledgeable! After seeing the waterfall, which was incredible, we hiked back to a local Chogga village and had a delicious lunch of banana soup, rice, beans and spiced vegetables. Then, we learned all about coffee cultivation and roasting, and had the most delicious cup of coffee. So much fun and so educational. It was a highlight of our trip to Tanzania,VerifiedKaterina K2023-09-09Best company to visit Moshi! Great company to visit Tanzania and go around Arousha and Moshi.
