Karatu Coffee Plantations Tour

Enjoy the Karatu Coffee Plantation tours:

Tanzanian coffee may not have the international recognition of coffee from nearby countries such as Ethiopia and Kenya, but coffee has been grown in Tanzania for centuries and is one of the country’s largest exports. Karatu is an ideal growing area because of the mineral-rich volcanic soil and the altitude of the northern highlands.

There are a number of coffee plantations in the area, including the plantation at the well-known Gibb’s Farm, Shangri-La Estate which produces Kifaru Coffee (formerly NgoroNgoro Coffee), Blackburn Coffee Estate, and Ngila Coffee Estate.

You can decide your level of interest in the local brew from simply sipping some of the local coffee at your lodge, buying a bag of beans to take back home, visiting a coffee plantation to learn the coffee production process, or actually staying on a working farm and coffee plantation such as Gibb’s Farm or the Shangri-La Estate.

You can book coffee plantation tours at your local Karatu lodge or through Ganako-Karatu.
