Gisakura Tea Estate Visit, Nyungwe

Gisakura, near Nyungwe Forest, Rwanda

About this experience

Bright green tea plantations surround the edges of Nyungwe Forest, and the Gisakura Tea Estate is one of the best known. A guided visit walks you through the terraced fields, where pickers harvest by hand, and into the factory to see how leaves are withered, rolled and dried.

The visit ends with a tasting of Rwandan tea, which is well-regarded for its bright, brisk character.

  • Terraced tea fields
