Discover Kilimanjaro’s Wild Honey Tradition
On Kilimanjaro’s forested slopes near Moshi, Chagga beekeepers still use hollowed-out log hives hung high in trees, a centuries-old method for harvesting wild honey. A local beekeeper walks you through the hives and harvesting process.
The visit ends with a tasting of fresh, unprocessed honey. A relaxed, low-effort half-day activity that pairs well with a village or cultural stop. Message our Moshi booking managers on WhatsApp for a free consultation.
An Ancient Chagga Craft
Beekeeping using hollowed log hives suspended from tall trees is a traditional Chagga practice on Kilimanjaro’s slopes, passed down through generations and still used by some families today alongside modern box hives.
The forest’s diverse flowering plants, nourished by Kilimanjaro’s rainfall, give the honey a distinct flavour, and harvesting is typically done at dusk or dawn when the bees are calmest.
