Coffee and tea tours Safaris & Experiences

Uganda offers immersive coffee tours that take you from plant to cup, showcasing both indigenous Robusta and high-altitude Arabica. This is one of the best moments when visitors have a real taste of the naturally made coffee on the true African soil with no preservatives and additives. Tea plantation tours in Uganda offer guided walks through emerald-green hills, visits to local processing factories, and fresh tea tastings, especially around Fort Portal and Kibale Forest National Park. Tea is one of the most cash crops grown in the hilly and fertile areas of Uganda, mainly on a commercial scale. Some areas in western Uganda have distinguished themselves as the premier destinations for coffee farming
