Everyone loves coffee. But how is it grown and processed? Tanzania is exporting coffee and many people are working with it so you can enjoy it. On our trip you will learn the long journey of the coffee from seed to cup. The farm delivering coffee to us is all organic and Fairtrade. Why is that important? Usually the farmers gets a low payment for the coffee. Sometimes its not enough to get their children to school. We pay the farmers 3 times the normal price. The coffee trees are not sprayed with any chemicals making it safer for the farmer and more healthy for us drinking the end product. Dont miss this opportunity to learn about coffee.

      Our coffee village is 40 min from Arusha town, 1400 mas and evergreen. From the village center we will use our feet and walk to the organic coffee farm. On the way you will pass through small farms, schools and churches. Our guide has lots of information about our culture and traditions. At the farm we will see the difference in traditional and organic coffee production. The walk down to our roaster takes 30-40 min. In the garden we serve a hot Tanzanian lunch with specialties from our village. Chapati, roasted banana, rice, ugali, sauce of goat, spinach, salad and fruits of the season. For dessert we will cup different coffee together with our famous banana cake and chocolate covered coffee beans. In the afternoon we move over to the roastary that is in the same garden. The last part of the coffee journey is happening here. In our showroom you can find your favorite roast and bring home to your friends and family.

    The whole coffee story

    We walked around the coffee plantation while our local guide explained how the coffee plants were cultivated and protected without using pesticides. He also told us about the economic importance of this crop for the village and the region, historically and presently. As experienced hardcore coffee drinkers we had never seen a coffee plant up close...The next step was the processing of the beans and the different types of roasting. The comparative tasting made the whole explanation even more memorable.

    Great Experience!

    Had a great tour through the village and learnt about the local community! Then we saw the agricultural fields and the coffee plantation. We also learnt a lot about how a cup of coffee is produced. Richard, our guide, explained everything very well and was very communicative.

    Awesome experience

    Overall - this was fantastic. Our guide Samuel was wonderful. He took us through his hillside village of 7000 people. He showed us butcher shops, several churches, stores, the courthouse, his home, gardens, family. He was very knowledgable and tried very hard to teach us about his culture, way of life, etc. We walked about 4.2 miles. Easy walk. Special lunch and coffee making factory tour. Very glad we did this. Fun, educational, good exercise. 😀😀

    A lucky find.

    The guide, Samuel, showed us the reality of coffee farming (as well as other small-scale farming) on an excellent walking tour through the area (including a village) around the coffee farms and roastery. I can't recommend this tour highly enough. This was a nearly perfect length (five or six hours including lunch) on our second day in Arusha (and Tanzania). He's articulate, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and energetic. Give this one a try; you won't regret it.

    Response from the operator: Hi. Great to have you at our place. Samwel has worked with the coffee tour for more than 10 years! We welcome everyone to learn more about coffee production.

    Coffee farming 101

    We started with a tour of a Lutheran church built in the 1800's by Germans. It was simple and functional and interesting and beautiful. The walk from the church to the coffee farm was somewhat uphill on a dirt lane. Be prepared if it's a hot, dry day. The coffee farmer took us around his farm and educated us on every step involved in coffee farming. We hiked down a path through trees that was uneven. Well worth it but be prepared for a hike. We passed several villagers' homes to arrive at a beautiful home of a Scandinavian woman and her African husband where we were served a family-style lunch of delicious local dishes. It was way more than any of us could eat. We were able to buy coffee and handmade items. It was a great way to learn and see the local culture.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for visiting us. Its indeed dry and dusty at this time of the year. In the afternoon it can be very hot. We are looking forward for the rain season to start soon.

    Coffee walk day trip: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Arusha.

    How much does Coffee walk day trip cost?

    +

    Prices start at $10 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Arusha usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Coffee walk day trip take?

    +

    Plan for about 6.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Arusha is not rushed.

    Is Coffee walk day trip worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Arusha, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Coffee walk day trip?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Coffee walk day trip suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Coffee walk day trip?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Arusha can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Arusha and add a light layer if any part of the 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Coffee walk day trip start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Arusha within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Arusha?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Arusha experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arusha Guided City Tour &Hotel Pickup (History, Culture &Market, 5 Days Camping Tarangire, Serengeti & Ngorongoro crater & Visiting Maasai, Materuni Waterfalls, coffee tour & Kikuletwa Hot Springs. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Arusha?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Arusha?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    +
