Kilimanjaro Coffee & Chagga Trails

On the fertile lower slopes of Kilimanjaro, the Chagga people have farmed coffee and bananas for generations. A half-day on their trails is a relaxed, delicious window into rural Tanzanian life.

From bean to cup

Visit a smallholder farm to pick, pulp, roast and grind beans by hand — then taste the result while your hosts share stories of life on the mountain.

Waterfalls and tunnels

Many trails also take in hidden waterfalls and the historic Chagga caves once used as refuge, making for a varied and easy day out.

Best time to go

Year-round; lovely as an acclimatisation day before a climb.
