Reading my favourite Sunday newspaper travel section, (The Observer) I read about “Kahawa Shamba” which is the “favourite eco-escape” of Harriet Lamb, excutive director of The Fairtrade Foundation.
A community-based project built on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, the project aims to bring extra income to the small scale coffee farmers in the region by opening it up to tourism.
Accommodation is in simple chalets, thatched with banana leaves and built in traditional style, and local families look after the guests and cook the meals.
According to Harriet, “It is one of the most beautiful and tranquil places I have ever been”.
