Ngila Estate is a coffee farm and producer that has been cultivating coffee since the 1920s, though it was not until 1992 that it was purchased by the Meyer family and established in its current name.
Located on the edge of the cloud forest that surrounds the Ngorongoro crater in Northern Tanzania, Ngila lives in harmony with the protected wildlife living on its doorstep. The farm covers approximately 100 hectares and borders a 50-hectare forest corridor that allows local fauna, such as elephants, to access traditional migration paths and mineral-rich caves. The estate’s proximity to the Ngila River also supports seasonal reforestation efforts, which help mitigate erosion and promote biodiversity in the region.
