The village is only 7 kilometres from Arusha’s city centre, making it accessible at any time of day. “Waarusha” is a well-known tribe in the area, and their cultural practices can be explored on a guided walk through the village. Depending on your availability, the excursion can be a half or full day

Bellows are some of the things to explore while in the village:

• Coffee Tour: Involves walking into coffee farms to learn all stages taken in cultivating coffee such as planting, maintaining, harvesting roasting, processing, and storage. The guide will take you through all processes thereafter you will test the real African coffee.
• Banana farm tour: You will be walking around banana farms to learn about the various banana varieties grown traditionally in the village. You will learn some local methods of keeping bananas from planting to harvesting.
• Housing tour: You will be taken through local houses to see how houses are built and how locals are living in.
• Arusha Viewpoint: To get a clear perspective of Arusha city from the settlement, you must hike to the viewpoint’s summit. There, in the brisk weather with the wind blowing sideways, you can snap special photos and relax for a while.
