West Kilimanjaro Farmstead: Trip V

Mt. Meru far off

The farmstead on west Kilimanjaro is not only an amazing visit for the vistas of Mt. Meru and the plains between Mt. Meru and Mt. Kilimanjaro, but also because it has amazing farm fresh food. We've enjoyed our previous visits (Trip IV) and looked forward to camping again on the property. We've experienced two different variations of their camping facilities and we were pleasantly surprised to see they had improved their tourist facilities. The farm is first and foremost a working farm but they have a few cottages and an old farm house that people can rent. They cater towards families with loads of activities and they recently built a specific camping area. It has showers, toilets, and level soft ground to put a tent.

We noticed a bunch of small things that showed that they were gearing up for more tourists. Several separate seating areas were created, one with a fireplace, and a communal firepit was built and lit at night. They had some informational posters about the wildlife and signs indicating where certain arm activities and hikes were located. We were very impressed and hopeful that more people from Moshi and Arusha visit since it is one of our favorite spots to relax at!
