What to expect

  1. Arusha Tours
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Guided Village Walk: The Meru tribe have called the lush foothills of Mount Meru home for over 300 years. We provide exclusive access into the daily life of our picturesque community just 20 minutes outside of Arusha.

    Stroll through fruit groves and bubbling streams as your private local host shares stories about medicinal plants, ancient farming practices, and the traditions passed down through generations. You will also visit a family compound and see how simple biogas systems transform farm waste into clean cooking energy.
  2. Arusha Tours
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Heirloom Bean-To-Cup Coffee Experience: Visit a small family coffee farm planted over 100 years ago, now producing the region's best heirloom Meru Mountain coffee.

    An artisan guides you through each step of the process... harvesting, roasting over an open fire, grinding, and brewing. Then, enjoy the coffee you make together. The experience is interactive, personal, and unrushed, accompanied by local songs and laughter.
  3. Arusha Tours
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Local Spices, Banana Wine & Farm-to-Table Lunch: Continue with a tasting of traditional spiced drinks and local banana wine, followed by a generous farm-to-table lunch prepared by women from the community.

    Dishes highlight Meru cuisine, including banana stew, fresh vegetables, and seasonal sides, served in a relaxed village setting.
  4. 1h · Admission ticket included
    Hidden Waterfall Swim: Travel to a secluded waterfall tucked within a pristine forest on the slopes of Mount Meru. After a 5-minute walk, enjoy time to swim, relax, or simply take in the peaceful surroundings.

    Unlike other popular waterfalls (like Materuni), this location is quiet, easily accessible, and rarely crowded, making it ideal for a refreshing and unhurried stop.
  5. 1h
    EXCLUSIVE BONUS Scenic Viewpoint Over Arusha & the Savannah: End the day at a panoramic viewpoint overlooking Arusha, the surrounding plains, and, on clear days, Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.

    Guests enjoy a forest swing, relax in hammocks, and breathe the healing mountain air before returning to their accommodation.
