Frequently asked questions
Where can I visit tea and coffee plantations in Rwanda?
Rwanda’s main tea and coffee estates are concentrated in the west and south-west, with Musanze and the Nyungwe region the most convenient bases for travellers.
What happens on a tea or coffee tour?
You walk through the plantation with a local guide, learn how the crop is grown and processed, and finish with a tasting of the finished product.
Can a tea or coffee tour be combined with gorilla trekking?
Yes. Musanze is the base for Volcanoes National Park, so a plantation visit fits easily around a trekking day. See the Musanze travel guide.
Is a plantation tour suitable for families?
Plantation visits involve gentle walking and are generally comfortable for families and older travellers. Tell us your group’s needs and we will match the visit to it.
Can I buy tea or coffee to take home?
Plantation visits usually end at an on-site shop, and we can confirm what is available when we arrange your visit.
