Descrizione
Discover the foothills of Kilimanjaro on a guided day tour from Arusha. Visit a coffee farm, swim in the Kikuletwa Hot Springs, and enjoy a sundowner with views of Kilimanjaro.
Start your day with a guided tour of a small, family-owned coffee shamba (farm). Pick a few beans, learn about the process from bean to cup, and enjoy a fresh brew with stunning views. Follow this with a walk-through of livestock keeping, local irrigation systems, and a visit to a local school.
Next, head through a remnant montane forest to discuss the unique ecosystem of Kilimanjaro. In the afternoon, visit the Kikuletwa Hot Springs (also known as Chemka) for a swim in its turquoise, spring-fed waters.
On the way, stop at a Chagga Live Museum or a local boma. Participate in grinding maize, learn about Chagga history and their ancient underground irrigation channels (mfongo), and hear stories directly from community elders.
End the day at a scenic viewpoint on the foothills, enjoying a local "sundowner" (Tusker beer or a cocktail made with local ingredients like tamarind or passion fruit) while watching the sun set on the peak of Kilimanjaro.
