Coffee africa

mages

Coffee plantations tend to be located in scenic mountain areas with rich tropical endemic vegetation.

Some of the better small estates in Africa service the very upper end of the coffee market and generate prize-winning product.

These areas often contain very high quality rural lodges which provide a chance to appreciate the magic of rural Africa.

The most popular areas to visit are in the Karatu and Arusha areas of northern Tanzania, notably the renowned Gibbs Farm ...

... as well as Huntingdon House in the Mulanje area of southern Malawi.

Coffee plantations

Overview

Coffee beans are the seeds of the cherry-like fruit of the coffee plant, cultivated in a swathe of countries across southern and eastern Africa.

Coffee plantations tend to be very scenic places, largely because the main crop is usually shaded by majestic trees making for some gorgeous scenery. The plants needs relatively high rainfall and a warm, equatorial climate, which means that in the plantations tend to be found on the slopes of well-watered mountains.

The process of taking the raw fruit and taking it through to the finished product can very interesting to observe.

Unfortunately coffee is responsible for a considerable amount of deforestation in equatorial regions, which is so why many people now refrain from drinking it on ethical grounds.

Some of the better small coffee estates in Africa service the very upper end of the coffee production chain and generate prize-winning product. The lodges in the area are therefore often able to offer an unusually high quality brew.

We often recommend staying at a good coffee plantation lodge as it can really introduce a different dimension to a safari, a break from wildlife viewing and a chance to appreciate the magic of rural Africa.

Trip planning

Coffee plantations are most commonly encountered in the Serengeti region of Tanzania, particularly around the town of Arusha, where Arusha Coffee Lodge is at the heart of a fully operational and rather celebrated plantation.

A little further east, on the eastern slopes of the Ngorongoro Highlands lies the renowned and historic Gibbs Farm, one of the most celebrated farm-stays in Africa.

If you want to include coffee plantations in your trip, then tell us what you have in mind and we will let you know the options.

Is It Possible to Overdose on Antihistamines?

Medically reviewed by Dena Westphalen, Pharm.D. — Written by Valencia Higuera on February 11, 2019

Can you take too much allergy medication?

Antihistamines, or allergy pills, are medications that reduce or block the effects of histamine, a chemical the body produces in response to an allergen.

Whether you have seasonal allergies, indoor allergies, pet allergies, food allergies, or a chemical sensitivity, an allergic response can trigger multiple symptoms, such as:

sneezing
coughing
sore throat
runny nose
skin rash
ear congestion
red, itchy, watery eyes

Allergy medication is considered safe when used correctly and can provide quick relief from symptoms, but it’s possible to take too much.

An antihistamine overdose, also called antihistamine poisoning, occurs when there’s too much of the medication in your body. This can be life-threatening, so it’s important that you understand proper dosing to avoid toxicity.

Can’t Sleep? These Allergens Might Be the Reason Why

This content was created by the National Sleep Foundation

If you’re one of the 20 to 50 percent of Americans who has allergies, you know that they don’t always just affect you during the day—the congestion and other symptoms can make it tough for you to get quality sleep at night.

Why the connection? When you breathe in something that you’re allergic to, the allergen irritates your nasal passage, leading to congestion, sneezing, coughing, and a runny nose. It can be difficult to sleep with those kinds of symptoms, which is why people who have allergies tend to have worse sleep. The more severe your symptoms, the lower the quality of your shuteye is likely to be.

To help improve your sleep, you have to rid your home of whatever it is you’re allergic to. Here are four of the top culprits to look out for.

Dust mites: If you have dust in your home, then you likely have dust mites. And unfortunately, one of their favorite places to call home is your bed and pillows (dust mites feed off the dead skin cells that you shed while you sleep). Adding a simple dust mite cover to your mattress and pillows can work wonders, as can regularly washing your bedding in hot water.
Mold: Dampness can lead to mold, which is especially important to know if your bedroom has an attached bathroom. Avoid this by keeping the air moving in your bathroom—whether it’s by using the exhaust fan or opening a window.
Pet dander: Whether you have a cat or a dog, flakes of their dead skin—called pet dander—can be a common allergen. One of the best ways to avoid this is to keep your pet off furniture (especially your bed) and to vacuum regularly. A weekly bath and brushing for your furry friend can also reduce dander in the home.
Pollen: This allergen
