Description

Good to Know

Venture just 15 minutes from Arusha town center onto the lush, hidden slopes of Mount Meru, where our ancient village warmly welcomes you. Here, you will experience a side of Tanzania few tourists ever get to see, from brewing heirloom coffee on a century-old family farm to swimming under a secluded waterfall canopy. Walk ancient footpaths through banana groves, food forests, and bubbling streams. This is a private, unhurried immersion, a genuine invitation into our daily lives.

Great experience

We really enjoyed the time spent on the tour. It was very informative and personal. It was lovely to get an insight into the lives of the locals, and we felt warmly welcomed. Unfortunately, there was some confusion regarding our TripAdvisor booking—specifically concerning the scope of the tour—since both full and half-tour options are offered but this wasn't clearly communicated on the platform. The tour guides addressed the issue, and we were able to take the full tour after all, which really h...read more

Village Culture

From the time we left our lodge until we returned, we felt we were part of a family! We harvested coffe beans, separated them from their shells, roasted them, ground them and final enjoyed the rich coffee. We then were treated to a fabulous meal and were treated to different beverages including banana beer. We then walked to a beautiful river sampling sweet berries along the path. We then drove to a secluded waterfall that required the help of Calvin and Pamela so that I could descend and ascen...read more

Excellent ❤️

The day went completely as thought out and planned from beginning to end. The pickup was on time and all guides were super friendly. You learn a lot about nature and also get to know the lives of the locals. I can definitely highly recommend the tour. :)

Outstanding

Really interesting day out. Fascinating to see ‘inside’ a Meru village, learn about their sufficiency and meet so many lovely people. Walking tour of the village, bush-to cup coffee making which was a show in itself, spice tasting and a great lunch completed the time in the village. After that, the Mangalia waterfall was beautiful and the viewpoint equally stunning. Driver Praylord and Guide Kalvin were fantastic throughout. Highly recommended.
