Coffee Tour Experience from Arusha
Description
This is a typical itinerary for a full day coffee and waterfall tour in Arusha, where you’ll be picked up from your hotel in Arusha town and drive to Tengeru Cultural Tourism Programe.

The experience of this tour was absolutelly unforgetable and even better than expected. The family is extremelly friendly and lovingly. We could feel like a part of the family. The activity was scheduled as a coffee tour but we got definitly more! We started the day with a great lemon grass/ginger tea and fresh peanuts. Thereafter we enjoyed a walk through banana plantation learning a lot about the different kinds of bananas and could taste them directly from plantation. Then we could also see the avocado and mango trees and eat the best avocado in my life :-) The walk finished with swimming in a nice waterfall. On the walk we could also see the everyday life of the local village. After we came back we were welcome with a lunch constisting of many delicious dishes so we could try typical local food. After lunch the coffe tour started with a visit on the plantation and as next we were able to prepare our coffee from begining and according to the traditional process. The coffee was of the best quality and very testy (also for me as a tea drinker). I can absolutelly recommend it. If you are looking for an experience to learn the real, local face of the country instead of visting only touristic places from the checklist - it can be nothing better than this tour!
