Experience
COFFEE FARM TOUR
The moment
Built to become more than an add-on.
Tanzania is one of Africa’s finest coffee-producing countries, and the fertile volcanic slopes around
Arusha and Kilimanjaro are home to small-scale farms producing exceptional Arabica coffee.
A coffee farm tour takes you through the full journey of the bean — from tree to cup —
in a setting of lush greenery and mountain views.
The Experience
Walk through plantations shaded by banana trees and learn how coffee cherries are grown and harvested by hand.
- Harvesting ripe coffee cherries
- Washing and drying the beans in the sun
- Roasting over an open fire
- Grinding using a traditional mortar and pestle
The Taste
The experience concludes with a tasting of freshly brewed coffee — rich, smooth, and deeply flavourful.
The altitude and volcanic soil of the region are reflected in every cup, offering a taste far beyond anything found on a supermarket shelf.
Where to Experience It

Marangu — On the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro
