ABOUT US

Kongoni Estate; which incorporates Kiran Coffee Estate and Kilimani Coffee Estate; is an old coffee estate located on the outer slopes of Ngorongoro Crater.  

The farm is at an altitude of 1600 to 1700meters.  Arabica Coffee of predominantly Kent variety is grown on an area of about 500 acres.  Other cash crops such as beans, maize, wheat and barley are grown for the local market.  We also maintain a small heard of cattle in our fresh milk dairy.

​

​German settlers initially started growing coffee in the area during 1920’s.  After the Second World War the British Administration consolidated the smaller German owned farms into larger units.  One Colonel Terence Connor, retired from the Indian Army named the farm Kongoni and successfully grew Coffee and other crops.  The farm changed hands late 1960’s and today it is owned and managed by Aggarwal family.
