Coffe Tour and Napuru Waterfalls - We had a really cool day at the coffee plantation. From harvesting fruits to grinding beans to the finished coffee in the cup, everything was there. There was also a very delicious lunch. The location is very cozy and welcoming.
After dinner, we'll head to the Napuru Waterfalls. I can highly recommend Kingstone!

This is more than just a coffee tour. It's a community, a connection, a new way of seeing. - I am still processing how special this "tour" was. I've decided that it's the people, it's the coffee, it's, the food, it's the ingenuity, it's the passion, it's the land...it's the dreams, it's the PEOPLE!
I felt like I was welcomed into a community that felt like family and kindness.
Let's talk about the coffee...I don't know what I've been drinking all my life. To have had a chance to pick the beans, process them, roast them, grind them, and then drink this elixer of the Gods stopped me dead in my tracks.
I've finally tasted COFFEE. I've come to learn that coffee preparation is actually what felt like a spiritual experience...like medicine. I learned from our guides how special coffee truly is.
I want to go back to the tree house and eat and gather with the Kingstone family again!

Great tour - What a great tour held by a bunch of great people! Emmanuel, the guide, is so knowledgeable and has explained everything about coffee to us. We started from growing a coffee tree to the process and finally tasting our efforts. It was definitely a new and amazing experience for the city person like us. Also Saleh, the brother, is super funny and brings a wonderful vibe in the hut. Their chef cooked us a local lunch which is really nice. And he sings very well too. You can imagine that place is filled with laughter, music, chill and of course coffee. Definitely a perfect spot for a coffee lover!

The best coffee tour possible!! - The best coffee tour with incredible hosts! I've done coffee tours in Tanzania before and didn't really want to do another one, but I had a friend visiting so thought I'd better give her the typical touristy experience. And honestly I'm so glad I did! This place put all other coffee tours to shame!! 🤩😍😁 The hosts are so friendly and have so much love and care for the work they do and the place they are building there to welcome guests is magical. 🫶 They showed us the entire coffee growing process, right from explaining the history of coffee and the different types of beans for planting, having us plant our own tree(!!!), then we got to pick the beans off the trees ourselves (so fun!!) dehusk them, and finally roast and grind dried beans for a well earned drink. It was so much more interactive and fun than the other coffee tour I've been on, and to top it all off, they served a DELICIOUS meal after the tour. Highly highly recommend! Definitely worth the price, you won't regret it 😊

Amazing day, highly recommend - One of my favourite things we did in Arusha. Everyone was so friendly, warm, and knowledgeable about coffee. Learned about the history of coffee, explored the coffee plantation, and experienced the coffee making process from start to finish. Loved how hands-on we could be in the coffee making process, including planting our own coffee plants and picking the coffee cherries - this has definitely given me a greater appreciation for all the work that goes into my morning brew!
The plantation itself is very peaceful and has lots of other medicinal and edible trees and plants that we loved learning about as well - a great way to learn more about Tanzanian culture too. The fresh vegetarian lunch was also one of the best meals we had in Tanzania! Easy to walk and then take dala dala to Arusha city centre after the tour.
Would highly recommend for friends, couples, families - everyone! A great way to support a local business, asante sana for welcoming us and hope to visit again one day

Must do! - About a month ago we visited Kingston coffee tour. It was a great experience! The two young men running the place made it a memorable day! They are very knowledgeable and passionate about coffee. They grew up with it and in it so it’s in their blood. Interactive, entertaining, warm, welcoming, chilled all at the same time. Also on this tour you will learn more about all the local fauna and flora. And you will get to plant your own coffee! If you want to learn about the history of the world’s most favorite drink and experience the process of how it’s made, from plant, berry, harvest, grinding, roasting etc to the delicious end result in your cup for you to enjoy with a beautiful view, good local food and good vibes galore… go! You won’t be disappointed! Bigup to these two young entrepreneurs for what they offer!!

Great Experience with friendly guides and hosts - We had such a great time in Kingstone Asilia! Tour guide is soooo knowledgeable on coffee History and process & we got to plant our own coffee tree, and do all the process from harvesting to drinking of course!
& on top of that, awesome food included in a beautiful place!
Overall a great experience!
We had a really cool experience! The guide gave us historical information on the origins of the drink, then we were able to do the whole process: from harvesting the grains to the best part: drinking it 😁 the people who run the place are super nice and the food included was really good! A great time!
