Discover the World of Bananas

Embark on an engaging tour that will bring you up close to the incredible banana tree. On the farm, you’ll spend time learning about how banana trees are planted, identifying the diverse varieties and species cultivated on the slopes of Mount Meru & Kilimanjaro. You’ll even have the opportunity to participate in planting a banana tree alongside a local farmer. Following the farm experience, you’ll witness and learn about the many ways local people utilize different types of bananas. This session will include discovering how banana wine and beer are traditionally brewed, which varieties are best for cooking, and age-old techniques for preserving bananas for future use without any modern machinery or chemicals.

The thriving local community also runs a fascinating project focused on banana handicraft making, which captivates many visitors. You’ll see how the versatile banana leaves are transformed into beautiful hats, table mats, jackets, and various other unique items through this community initiative.

The magical banana tour lasts approximately 1 to 2 hours and can be combined with a visit to a waterfall or a coffee tour for those on a half-day excursion.
