During our hike to Kivesi hill we discovered Barakas nice coffe farm. They were really welcomming and showed us the whole process of making coffee. We had a lot of fun with Baraka and his wife Jessica while producing the coffe. We could help a lot and tried our selfmade coffee at the end. It was so delicious. Definately worth a visit! You can also buy their coffe here if you like to.

Baraka welcomed us and taught us about his process of making coffee from start to finish. It was very educational and interesting to learn about, and of course rewarding to drink a cup that you helped to process!

We had an extra day in Arusha and didn’t want to pay $85 for a local tour, so we caught a bijaj here for very cheap, and the tour was very inexpensive! Much better than just buying a local coffee. We started with a nice cup of lemongrass ginger tea, then started with everything from picking coffee cherries, taking off the shell, washing, drying, chaffing, roasting, and pounding into a fine “ground” coffee that we got to enjoy also! I highly recommend. Call him beforehand so you can set it up, and have him help your driver get there.

The Coffeetour was a great experience. Beside the tour Baraka and his wife give you the opportunity to learn how to cook Ugali in a traditional woddfire kitchen. This created a really special event in our Africa travel. You should definitely book the cook lesson after your tour!

There were amazing activities. It was interesting to see how the coffee was grown. How the people were kind and welcoming. It was so interesting to see the way they roasted and how it was all done by hand. The area was very peaceful. I hope it becomes more popular as it would be a shame if someone missed out on it.

Fantastic experience!! Baraka showed us the entire process of making coffee, and we even participated! We picked some beans, skinned them, saw how they are dried, roasted them, separated the bean from the skin pounded them, brewed the coffee and drank and enjoyed the fruits of our labour. Baraka made it educational and above all FUN!! We laughed and sang and clapped. So much joy. ❤️😊🇹🇿

Wonderful experience. We learned the whole process of making coffee from harvesting to roasting beans to finally having a cup of coffee on the table. There were also songs to go with each step in the process. So fun! Highly recommended.

Travelling with Maggies tours company and you will have opportunities to meet with Baraka who is a local coffee farmer to experience a true test of Tanzania coffee and culture.

My first visits to a coffee farm and I am really glad that I went to Barakas. Such an enthusiastic, fun and patient guy. Learned a lot about coffe farming and the prosess of making the raw coffee beans to coffee for drinking. I was also able to do a lot of prosess my self. You should expect much singing and dancing through prosess. Thanks to you and your family for the warm welcome and a very fun time.

If you want to learn how coffee is grown and prepared for drinking, this is the place to go! Baraka taught us everything in a joyful way. First, he showed us his plants. Then we roasted the coffee, then ground it and drank it together. It was great fun! You can buy Baraka‘s coffee and take some with you back home. It is not cheap but I’m glad I did. Because it’s really tasty and reminds me of a great afternoon.

Baraka is a great guy who was a very welcoming and entertaining host, showed us through the whole process of making coffee in a theatrical and amusing way, and then served it to us. Definitely one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had, and the roasted bananas and lemongrass tea from earlier were also great.

We had a great afternoon at Baraka's place. The visit includes a full overview of the crops grown on his farm, and more specific details about coffee followed by a fully participatory processing of coffee from picking right through to grinding and drinking - all using traditional methods. I can definitely recommend visiting Baraka's if you have a spare morning or afternoon in Arusha. Baraka and his staff were very welcoming and we loved every minute. Asante sana Baraka.

Our visit to this plantation was more than worth it. It's fun to see how coffee is made. But it is even more fun to see how it is done traditionally here. It is a small plantation, with an enthusiastic owner, who tells a lot about the beans and the processing. And it is 'hands-on', all steps with human power. Finally, you roast the beans on a wood fire and drink your own coffee.

Baraka welcomed us warmly and provided a great tour of his coffee farm and all the steps of coffee production. We had an amazing day with really great coffee (kahawa) and food. We would come back any time and highly recommend visiting his farm when you are in Arusha!

We found Baraka’s Coffee Farm by a stroke of luck, looking on google maps for things to do in the local area to our accommodation in Arusha. We got in touch using WhatsApp and very quickly he got back to us and was able to give us a tour on our chosen day. After some lemongrass tea and roasted bananas on arrival the tour started. We got involved in every step of the process from picking the beans to pounding, roasting and grinding. Each stage accompanied with it’s own fun song! We then sat down and drank the coffee we’d just made which was very nice. We also opted for a cooking class with Jessica, Baraka’s lovely wife. Between us we made an absolute feast using traditional woodfired cooking. And then all sat down to lunch together. A thoroughly wonderful time with beautiful people. We left feeling such a positive energy. I cannot recommend this highly enough.

Informative and fun tour with enthusiastic owner Baraka. Grind, sieve and roast the beans and finally drink the delicious end product. Highly recommended.
