Arusha 1 Day Sakila Village Tour Stingless Bees Project is a day excursion from Arusha to the village of Sakila located on the foothills of Mount Meru some 40 km’s east of Arusha.

0830 Hours: After breakfast at your hotel/ residence in Arusha you will travel to Sakila village. The tour begins by visiting a coffee farm where you will learn how coffee is grown from young trees to when it is picked.

Here, you can taste freshly roasted coffee while you see the process of the roasting and grinding coffee. After a cup of coffee, you will visit banana and coffee plantations where you will learn how the Meru tribe living in the area grow these foods and use as cash crops.

Sakila village enjoys excellent views of Mount Kilimanjaro which is the highest mountain in Africa. After the farm tour we proceed to a local home and learn how biogas technology works.

In the non-urban areas of Tanzania, 80% of the population cooks over an open fire and is therefore dependent on wood (or charcoal) as a fuel for cooking. This is about 30 million people.

We learn the benefits of biogas technology which include providing farming families with clean fuel for cooking and lighting, saves time in gathering wood and saves them the cost of firewood, charcoal, kerosene and artificial fertilizer.

1230 Hours: We enjoy a local lunch and some soft drinks.

1400 Hours: In afternoon you will visit sting less honey bee’s project to learn how sting-less honey bees or simply meliponines beekeeping project improves livelihoods for poor families in the rural areas. Beekeeping activities raises their income by 25%.

1500 Hours: Later depart by road back to Arusha.
