Village Tour
The picturesque village of Marangu at the foot of Africa’s highest mountain Kilimanjaro offers fascinating insights into everyday village life and into the local culture of the Chaga tribe, who once withstood vicious Masai raids through the ingenious use of tunnels. These attacks especially took place during prolonged periods of droughts, when the Masai people were unable to feed their cattle and looked to the evergreen elevated slopes of the Kilimanjaro area.
This Cultural Tour on the slopes of Kilimanjaro includes a visit to these Chaga tunnels, a hike to a beautiful waterfall (see photos), a visit to a local coffee plantation and the opportunity to taste the nutritious banana beer popular with the locals. Marangu was the starting point for the first ascent of Mount Kilimanjaro by Hans Meyer and Yohana Lauwo in 1889.
