Good Safaris

Nature has entrusted to and in our people the best in land and culture that can be offered to mankind in form of Tourism. We are intrinsically the best thanks to geography (only?,mostly?)

goodsafaris.com have both  custom made and standard itineraries based on your interest and of course your budget, samples  here are just cores around which to plan your dreams. We have a tours consultant Mr. Mbuya who’s been in the industry for the best part of his adult life, has summitted mount Kil 24 times.

COFFEE TOURISM

This is one product in our Coffee Revival Project. Areas and people around Kilimanjaro and Meru Mountains are blessed with Altitude, Soils, Climate History and Culture of coffee. The crop has been in the decline at small holder level.

ACWF believes that so long as there is an addiction and therefore a huge permanent appetite and  market for coffee in the Nothern Hemisphere and equally so a local potential. Coffee revival at small holder level, given a candid intervention  is feasible economic solution that shall enable local communities put well fed, well dressed children in good schools.

Coffee tourism shall take you through the coffee value chain from seed germination, to farms, to cooperatives, wet mills and possibly to the dry mills, cupping’s, auctions and some initiatives in roasting and branding. We shall take you to commercial farms, government and cooperative educational and research institutes and some other institutions around Tanzanian coffee.

In our Coffee Revival Project, we are dreaming of resurrection of coffee in the slopes of Kimilimanjaro and Meru by empowering the small holder through, education, artisan farming and management of the bean, creation of a local roaster and therefore a brand, collective bargaining, collective enforcement of quality to be ready for a fairer and more direct trading to achieve good prices per kilo for a dignified living. This project is calling for reteach and write up to catalyze the already well established, Human, land and Institutional Resources.
