Highlights
- Usa River - Depart from your accommodation in Arusha and journey to the Coffee Plantation. Coffee made its way to the Tanzanian territory from what is now Ethiopia in the 16th century. Initially, coffee wasn’t brewed in this area but rather consumed for its energizing effects. According to oral traditions, the Haya people, residing in the northwestern part of Tanzania in the area now known as the Kagera region, were the sole documented group to utilize the beans. They would boil Robusta beans, infuse them with herbs, and then chew the concoction for stimulation. Coffee beans also served as a medium of exchange within the tribe, and the cultivation and production of the beans were strictly regulated by tribal chiefs.

Visit to coffee plantation/lunch - The scenery was amazing through out the day. The walk was good but tiring and to a certain degree dangerous for people not used to walking such tracks or unfit due to age or knee problems. I believe tour agents should give detailed information to tourists before they embark on such ventures. They need to bring suitable shoes eg at minimum. Tour agents should not assume that programs are fit for all. They need to provide accurate information and leave the customer to decide. Personally I thoroughly enjoyed the walk but my friend went back. They should also explain that lunch is in someone’s house not in a restaurant! We loved the lunch and the hospitality of the hosts and enjoyed the coffee roasting and grinding
