Review №1

I’ve been in Arusha 10 months and I suddenly have so many regrets. I had heard of Shanga, but never understood how truly awesome it would be. I basically never buy things and the people and atmosphere and the goods and prices made it so I could not say no. In the future I will be sure to bring friends and family

A variety of activities from fascinating glass blowing to textile making on a loom are the highlights. That its from recycled materials to employ disabled people makes it inspiring. Theres a coffee tour, gift shops, a coffee shop with free wifi and a good restaurant at the location. Spend an afternoon here if you can.

Shanga is a wonderful project, you can visit the production for free, a local guide will walk you around and explain about this project. Coffee at the bar is really tasty. You can buy very nice souvenirs for your friends and loved.

Our Arusha day trip included a stop here. I loved interacting with all of the smiling faces. It was fun to converse using my limited sign language skills. Prices were reasonable and the world would be a better place if all persons lived by their motto. So glad we stopped, put this on your list.

Review №17

Tour takes a maximum of 20 mins. Very positive and productive atmosphere. Gifts are genuinely wearable and/or unique (from someone who doesn’t usually buy souvenirs).I suggest spending a memorable afternoon at Elewana: lunch, coffee tour and Shanga.
