  The most immersive tour we found in Arusha, abd with a nice guide. With a really complete tasting and a tasty lunch.

• We learned much about local culture while enjoying the day outside.

  This experience is worth the time if you want to learn about local Meru culture. Freddie was a fun and friendly guide who was knowledgeable with culture and history. He led us on a walk through the village, to a local family home, to the river, and then back to the family farm. We brewed coffee while singing and dancing, and then were given a scrumptious lunch! Definitely try the banana beer, swim in the waterfall, and ride the swing above Arusha! We were a group of 8, and while we have been to Arusha before, we have never experienced it like this. If you want to spend the day outside learning about history and culture, book this experience.

  Freddy and Praylord were amazing hosts. We got a taste of the culture, felt relaxed, and enjoyed the scenery. After 24 hours of flying from new york and only having one day in arusha before heading into the Serengeti.... This was definitely time well spent. So much information to absorb and wonderful memories. And one amazing cup of coffee roasted fresh with song and dance.... Truly special.

• Great learning experience.

  Today we enjoyed a truly memorable day. Praylord, Fredy and Prosper looked after us so well and we learnt so much. The walk around the village alone was inspirational , you've gotta see the biogas system! The coffee processing was great fun and so educational. We visited a small school for the poorest children which was humbling. An excellent lunch was provided , then Prosper showed us the beehives and we sampled the most amazing honey we've ever tasted. More delights followed, we went to a gorgeous waterfall , I swam in the clean warm water in the most beautiful surroundings. We finished this tour at Paradise View , enjoying panoramic views of Arusha and the distant hills from the gigantic swing. Great fun and a perfect end to a perfect day. Many thanks to all the team.

  My husband and I had an amazing experience on this tour. You start by walking through the village, learning about the different plants and trees, seeing the livestock. We saw how manure is used to create methane for cooking. We saw monkeys during our walk. My favorite was learning the 16 steps to turn coffee beans into a cup of coffee. They sing and use drums while you help grind the beans. We had a lovely lunch and then walked to the water fall, after a drive to the area. There are some stairs. Then drove to the top of the hill for the view. Some stairs again. It was a great immersive tour given by a family.

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Arusha and coffee

  There were no planned comfort stops and this was over a 6-7 hour experience. Our transportation also suffered a blown tire so we missed out on the last portion of the trip - which we elected to do based on the time delay. The overall experience was enlightening and enjoyable except for the above mentioned.

• Entertaining and Informative

  We had a great day with Freddie in his Meru village, Ambureni. The guides were informative about village life and we learned about native plants, the transformation of cow manure to cooking gas, the typical food raised and consumed by the village for the village. We watched the process for a cup of coffee from picking the berry to roasting and brewing a delicious cup of coffee. A trip to the waterfall capped off a wonderful day. I highly recommend this trip. It was great to see the typical life of these villages.

• A Memorable Day in Arusha

  My husband and I had a full day in Arusha after our safari tour and decided to book the all-day, all-inclusive experience with Arusha Tours, and we’re very glad we did. We spent a full eight hours walking through the village, learning about locally grown fruits and vegetables, seeing how coffee is harvested and processed, tasting spices and banana wine, enjoying a delicious lunch, visiting a waterfall, and ending the day on the swing. The guides were knowledgeable, warm, and engaging, and the entire experience felt well organized and immersive. It was a wonderful way to spend a day in Arusha and learn more about local life and traditions. The only personal downside for us was that, as vegans, it was a bit difficult to see the farm animals kept in small huts, and we could have done without the demonstration of turning cow manure into cooking gas. That said, this is very subjective, and overall we still found the tour to be a memorable and enriching experience.

• A wonderful full day trip - Authentic coffee experience

  We spent the entire day with Freddie and had the best time ever. He showed us Ambureni, a small village in the slopes of Mount Meru and home to the Meru tribe. We learned so much about farming and bananas! We then had a great coffee experience and the singing and dancing felt naturally - not as a show for tourists. We had a very delicious lunch and spent time at a beautiful waterfall we had just for ourselves - try some authentic banana beer fresh from the brewery - like a local. The tour ended with a big swing and a great view. We had the best time and hope that others will find this hidden gem.
