Coffee is becoming an increasingly important part of the travel experience in Kenya and Tanzania, where highland farms produce some of the region’s most distinctive beans. The crop, which originated in Ethiopia’s highlands, has given rise to a major industry in Kenya, contributing about 5% of the country’s export earnings. Kenya produces mainly arabica, while Tanzania grows roughly 70% arabica and 30% robusta. Given the importance of the crop to the region, travelers are increasingly pairing safari itineraries with farm visits. In Kenya, Karunguru Coffee Estate, near Thika, is loved by many visitors and offers full seed-to-cup tours. In Tanzania, Arusha Coffee Lodge and cooperative-run tours in Moshi showcase the crop’s journey from field to cup. Meanwhile, growing urban demand has expanded café culture in Nairobi and Arusha, giving consumers greater access to specialty coffee and strengthening the connection between farming, tourism, and local enterprise.
