Africa Coffee Farm Tours

Curated 5 to 10 day journeys through the coffee belts.

We run small-group tours through Kenya's Mount Kenya belt, the Aberdares, and (on request) Rwanda, Burundi and Ethiopia. Cup at altitude. Pick cherry by hand. Sit in on a washing station from before sunrise. Eat with the families who farm these lots. Leave knowing what your bag of beans cost the people who grew it.

What's included
  • 5 to 10 day itinerary across two or three regions
  • Visits to 4 to 8 estates and cooperatives per trip
  • Daily cupping sessions with farm owners and producers
  • Washing station and mill walkthroughs
  • Meals with farming families
  • All ground transport (4x4) and accommodation
  • Translation where needed
How it works
  1. 01

    Itinerary design

    We learn what you want to see. Specialty estates? Co-op aggregation? Drying yards? Then we build a route that fits your priorities and your time.

  2. 02

    Logistics

    We handle the bookings, the drivers, the visas-on-arrival paperwork, the airport pickups.

  3. 03

    On the road

    Martin or a senior team member rides with you the entire trip. You get a coffee professional, not a tour guide, in the front seat.

  4. 04

    After the trip

    We send you the contact details of every farm you cupped at, so you can buy direct if you find a lot you love.

Who it's for
  • Roasters wanting to build direct relationships with producers
  • Coffee buyers from importers and trading houses
  • Coffee enthusiasts wanting a serious, behind-the-scenes origin experience
  • Cafe teams looking for a once-in-a-career staff trip
