Wonderful Waterfall, Coffee and Tour Guide - We were looking for something to help us acclimate for our hike up Kilimanjaro and get over a bit of jet lag. We found Bony and booked a waterfall and coffee plantation tour. While we knew it would be interesting it turned out to be an absolutely FANTASTIC day. Several things made it special. One was riding up the mountain in a tuk-tuk. The sights from the tuk-tuk made us feel more immersed in the experience. Another highlight was being in a small group of two with our own guide and driver, which allowed us to do things at our own pace without the rush of keeping up with a tour group. We stopped when we wanted and walked when we wanted, taking time to admire art, ant colonies, slugs, chameleons, people carrying massive loads on their heads, and enjoy the fresh air and waterfall. We went at a very comfortable pace. Bony was full of information and stories, and he was a wonderful guide. We enjoyed learning and participating in the entire coffee-making process, including pounding, roasting, and brewing the coffee. It was delicious, and the atmosphere was lively with singing and drums as we worked. Lunch introduced us to several local specialties, many made from bananas. Bony and the driver Steven were attentive to our every need. We had such a great time with them that we continued the afternoon with a tour around Moshi, visiting the market and a tailor. Bony is a hardworking, kind person, passionate about Tanzania, sharing information, and answering our questions. We highly recommend Bony for those who want the extra attention often unavailable in larger group tours. We were very happy at the end of the day.

An amazing experience - It has been a delight to meet Boni and experience the coffee tour that he organises. I really enjoy his clear explanations, demonstration of the process and the delicious coffee offered here. It was also a pleasure to experience these beautiful surroundings and friendly connections with local people. Thank you Boni, wishing you all the best for your project.

Fantastic day filled with fun and learning - We had an absolutely amazing day with Boni. First we received walking sticks and started our journey to the waterfall. Boni pointed out many plants, animals and village things on the way and gave us a very nice commentary. He also knew the best photo places. When we came back to the village we had a fantastic coffee tour. We made our own coffee from the scratch = peeling, roasting and grinding beans, all the traditional way and with local singing. Finally, we had a delicious lunch cooked by one of the village ladies and finished off with banana beer (extra cost). We also bought some souvenirs there, the people were not pushy at all so it fell really nice. I highly recommend the tour. Thank you, Boni!

Great local guide! - Boni is a local guide who lives in the village, so he can tell a lot about the life there. For the coffee part of the tour, a lot of family members joined to help and to sing and dance together. After that there was an amazing lunch prepared (you better like banana!) I definitely recommend:)
