5.00For a moment we enjoyed the parts of Arusha with our guide Arnold, we visited Arusha town, we went to the coffee tour and last our stop we went on lake Duluti for the wonderful canoeing. This is better and more than an experience of the Arusha, we had our 8 hours amazing and we recommend for all travelers who get well to know about the coffee plantation and all process of make coffee in a Tanzania local way, you can dive in Arusha town to learn about history, arts and culture of the people and also the lake Duluti will be the last stop where we recommend the canoeing as we done, you can breath very fresh on the lake, relax and see some beautiful birds and by lunch if monkeys and big reptile you can see. I definitely recommend this perfect tour.

It's a valuable experience and best ever you should do once you have a chance to do it in Arusha.

5.00One of our best days in Arusha. The waterfall is very good and a small challenge for us but the secret we learn from David our guide is POLE POLE, thanks so much for looking after us and guiding us all the way and letting us learn a lot about Tanzania. The coffee experience was really nice and the local guide is the best and knows what you want to learn and he's not only to show tourists but he's a really coffee farmer. 10 out of 10 experience.
