The coffee tour across the 970-acre estate was informative and authentic. Enjoying a fresh cup on the veranda in the morning mist was unforgettable. Highly recommended!
We stayed for 3 nights while touring Ngorongoro and Manyara. TEC Rest House was an absolute gem—peaceful gardens, authentic coffee tour, and exceptional staff who packed delicious breakfast boxes for our early morning game drives.
A truly serene and spiritual atmosphere nestled in the coffee farm. The rooms were spotless, the hot water was constant, and the food prepared from fresh farm produce was wonderful.
