A relaxed walking day trip on a coffee farm near Arusha, following Tanzanian coffee from the plant to the cup.
This walking day trip introduces the story of Tanzanian coffee on a farm near Arusha. After a hotel pick-up and a short briefing you set off on foot to the plantation, taking in the local plants and birdlife along the way.
A guide explains how coffee is grown and prepared – from planting and harvesting through to processing and roasting – before you help brew and taste a cup you have made yourself. The farms usually have shops selling fresh and ground coffee to take home, and the plantations are at their most active during the June-October harvest season; comfortable shoes and outdoor clothing are recommended.
Hotel pick-up and briefing, then a walk to a nearby coffee farm. Learn how the coffee is grown and processed – from planting and harvesting to roasting – and take part in brewing and tasting your own cup before returning.

Arusha is the base camp for the northern safari circuit. It sits at around 1,400 metres on the southern slopes of Mount Meru, which gives it a mild, green climate, and almost every Tanzanian safari, Kilimanjaro climb and Zanzibar add-on begins or ends with a night here.
It is a working city rather than a resort. The Clock Tower roundabout at its centre is traditionally held to mark the midpoint between Cairo and Cape Town, and the Cultural Heritage Centre on the western edge of town houses one of East Africa’s largest collections of African art and Tanzanite. Most arrivals land at Kilimanjaro International Airport, roughly an hour east, and transfer straight here.
