Arusha 1 Day Tour Sakila Village - Coffee Farm & Stingless Bees Project
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 east of Arusha. 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 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 grows these foods and uses them 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, saving time in gathering wood, and saving them the cost of firewood, charcoal, kerosene, and artificial fertilizer.
At 1230 Hours we enjoy a local lunch and some soft drinks. In the afternoon you will visit the stingless honey bee project to learn how the sting-less Honey Bees or simply the Meliponines beekeeping project improves livelihoods for poor families in rural areas. Beekeeping activities raise their income by 25%. And at about 1500 Hours, depart by road back to Arusha.
