Marangu Village Cultural Tour
A Marangu Village Cultural Tour with Nature Navigators is a full, relaxed day on the green eastern slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, immersing guests in the daily life and rich heritage of the Chagga people. Walking through tidy farms and village paths, visitors see how coffee, bananas, and other crops are grown on the fertile volcanic soils and often enjoy views of Kilimanjaro on clear days. The experience typically includes visits to traditional Chagga houses and historical caves, a walk to nearby waterfalls such as Ndoro or Kilasia, and a hands-on coffee session from bean to cup, followed by a home-cooked local lunch with classic banana dishes and, for those interested, tastings of banana beer. Stories from local guides about Chagga history, clan life, and past conflicts bring the landscape to life, making Marangu Village a warm, people-focused complement to any Kilimanjaro or safari itinerar
