Lake Duluti, Coffee & Arusha View Point Experience

10 HoursCombo PackagesArushaMount Meru

The Lake Duluti, coffee and Arusha view point experience follows the day from water to golden hour. You canoe a quiet crater lake in the morning, lunch on a working coffee farm on the slopes of Mount Meru and learn how its beans go from cherry to cup, then climb into the foothills for sundowners as the light turns gold over the plains.

Three of our Arusha experiences joined into one guided day, at 10% less than booking them separately.

Booking and pick-up: Free pick-up from your hotel in Arusha, Moshi or the Kilimanjaro Airport area. Elsewhere on request. Book by 20:00 for next-day trips; same-day on request via WhatsApp.
