TOUR ITINERARY
In
the morning we drive to Marangu Gate (1900m), the starting point for all
Kilimanjaro treks via the Marangu Route. You will have the opportunity to take
pictures of the mighty Kilimanjaro and get a sense of the spirit of the
mountain.
The
area around Marangu is home to the local Chagga tribe and you will learn all
about their history and traditions on this full day excursion. Our second stop
will be visit a small coffee farm,
Where
you will learn about how the coffee is grown, harvested and processed locally.
Try your own hand at processing, roasting and preparing a fresh cup of coffee.
Once you have finished enjoying your coffee break, we will depart for the Ndoro
Waterfalls. Our hike to the base of the waterfall will lead us through lush
green landscape and the descend takes approximately 1 hour.
Here you have the opportunity to relax and
take a refreshing bath in the pool of the waterfall. Another highlight will be
the visit to the Chagga Underground Caves and the Chagga Live Museum. In times
of drought the Maasai migrated up the lower slopes of Kilimanjaro, in search of
food and water.
They enslaved and killed the local Chagga
people. In defense of these attacks the Chagga built an extensive network of
underground caves.
Your
guide will lively illustrate you the conflict while you visit the caves. We
then continue to spend some time at the Chagga Live Museum, a small outdoor
museum, which will give you further insides into traditional chagga life. Our
tour also includes a chagga culinary taste, when we stop for lunch in a small
restaurant. Here you will be served a traditional hot meal, later you will also
have the chance to try the local spirits such as banana beer and wine.
