Chagga Tribe Culture Tour
A tour through a Chagga village will take you
through a coffee plantation and banana beer making, both of which are
made entirely by hand. You may also visit a blacksmith to see how tools
are built using traditional methods and take a look at Chagga houses. A
walk through the village must not go without stepping inside a cave,
which were made during the time of tribal wars with the Maasai and used
by the Chagga people and their livestock for hiding.
Kikuletwa Hotsprings
Kikuletwa Hot springs gets its name from the
water that bubbles in underground caves. Surrounded by fig trees, this
area is a hidden gem in the midst of a semi arid landscape. Here you may
find a diversity of colourful birds amongst an abundance of plant life
and neighbouring indigenous tribes. There is also an option to camp
overnight and hike.
Kinukamori Waterfall
The Kinukamori waterfall, part of Marangu
village, offers another look at the Chagga culture. On top of the
waterfall sits a statue of a woman. According to legend, a woman who
became pregnant out of wedlock contemplated committing suicide only to
change her mind and be driven to death over the waterfall from a leopard
attack.
Lake Chala
Only an hours drive from Moshi on the border
between Tanzania and Kenya sits a wondrous crater lake. This volcanic
area is perfect for camping, swimming and exploration. A camp ground
with several camping sites is available and includes a bar, restaurant,
hot showers and barbeque grills.
Ndoro Waterfall
Ndoro waterfall is another area located in
Marangu at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Visiting this waterfall is a
perfect day trip for hiking enthusiasts since it can only be reached by
foot and takes about an hour to hike in. Upon arrival, you may enjoy a
swim whilst being surrounded by lush temperate forest.
