Coffee Tour – Day Trip from Arusha & Moshi
Overview
The rich volcanic soil on the slopes of Kilimanjaro grows some of the best Arabica coffee in the world. On this tour you visit a small family farm and follow coffee from the tree to your cup.
Your hosts show you how the cherries are picked, peeled, dried and roasted over an open fire, then ground by hand while singing traditional songs. Finish by tasting a fresh cup of coffee you helped make — and buy some beans to take home.
What to Expect
Morning pickup from your hotel and drive up into the green Kilimanjaro foothills.
Walk through the coffee farm with your hosts and learn how coffee is grown alongside bananas and other crops.
Help peel, roast and hand-grind the coffee beans the traditional way.
Drink the freshly brewed coffee and enjoy a local snack with the family.
Drive back to your hotel, or combine with the waterfalls hike.
