Coffee from Tanzania may not have the international notoriety of coffee from neighboring countries such as Ethiopia and Kenya, but coffee has been grown in Tanzania for centuries and is one of the country’s most important exports. Karatu is an ideal growing area due to its mineral-rich volcanic soil and the high altitude of the northern highlands.
There are a number of coffee plantations in the area, including the plantation of the well-known Gibb’s Farm, Blackburn Coffee Estate and Ngila Coffee Estate.
You can decide for yourself the extent to which you are interested in the local brew, whether you simply have a sip of coffee at your lodge, buy a bag of beans to take home, visit a coffee plantation to learn about the process of coffee production, or actually stay at a working farm and coffee estate like Gibb’s Farm.
Visit one of the many Coffee Farms during your stay, and learn everything you need to know about the coffee production. Karatu’s weather conditions and fertile ground make it a perfect place for coffee crops.
Ganako – Karatu is situated on the way from Arusha to the national parks in northern Tanzania, just on the lower slopes of Ngorongoro highlands outside the Ngorongoro and Serengeti, it is an important resting place for most safari travellers.
