Marangu Village Cultural Day Tour – An Unforgettable Experience

Located at the bottom of Africa’s highest mountain, the picturesque village of Marangu provides enthralling insight into both modern Tanzanian life & into the lives of the Chaga folks who once withstood cruel Maasai raids through the clever use of tunnels.

Your Marangu village cultural day tour include a trip to these Chaga tunnels, a hike to an exquisite waterfall, a tour of a local coffee plantation, and the chance to savor the potent banana beer that’s popular with the locals.

Kilasya Falls:

The walk to those picture-perfect falls is a leisurely hike through local banana plantations & quiet clusters of homes. You will use stepping stones to cross the river & there is a bit of muddy downhill hiking to get there, but the prize at the end is a soaring waterfall with cool waters underneath. The adventure seekers can hop in for a quick swim.

Local coffee plantation trip:

You will pay a trip to a locally owned & operated coffee plantation to learn more regarding the process that takes the beans from the tree to our cups. Try your hand at manually grinding & roasting beans, and reward your hard work with some appetizing, fresh coffee.

Chaga tunnels tour:

You will venture into the inky black darkness of the tunnels in which Chaga sheltered when Maasai would raid from the lowlands. Your private guide will guide you precisely through the underground maze as he explains the days of guerilla warfare & how the folks survived underground for so long.

Banana beer tasting:

Visit a local banana beer vendor to try this potent local brew.
