Wetherbee/Korbl Private Safari with Zanzibar

We will take a flight leaving mid-morning to early afternoon from Boston’s Logan Airport to Kilimanjaro International Airport.

We will immediately go to our accommodations at the Mountain Bike House Eco Lodge located about 45 minutes from the airport.

On our first day we will head to Materuni which is the home of the Chagga tribe and is still an authentic tribal village. This charming region is just 15km away from Moshi Town and is the last village before the Kilimanjaro National Park. First, you will visit the incredible waterfalls, which are around a 40-minute walk away and make sure to bring a bathing suit! Next, the complete coffee experience awaits you. Here you will learn how coffee is cultivated, dried, roasted and further processed. You will also be invited to help with the grinding of the coffee, which is traditionally accompanied by Chagga songs and dances. After a long, full day, we will travel back to the lodge for a relaxing evening

We will take a short bus ride to the Simbas Community Center and get a chance to meet the local team and get a tour of the center and the surrounding area.
