COFFEE FROM THE HEART OF AFRICA

At Serengeti Roasters, coffee is more than a drink – it’s a tribute to the African continent. From the highlands of Ethiopia to the volcanic slopes of Uganda and the misty mountains of Rwanda and Burundi, we source our beans from the birthplace of Arabica and honour the people who grow them.

Rooted in Africa

Our mission is simple: to showcase Africa’s unmatched coffee legacy while giving back to its land and people. We roast with purpose, source only from African origins and believe deeply in ethical trade and community empowerment. Every bean tells a story – of place, tradition, and spirit. That’s why we work directly with co-ops and washing stations that uplift farmers, invest in education and promote climate-smart agriculture.

More Than Coffee

Serengeti Roasters is a love letter to Africa. We don’t blend in beans from elsewhere. We don’t cut corners. Our single origins and blends – available in capsules, beans and ground – celebrate Africa’s diversity, depth and resilience. This is African coffee, as it was meant to be. Pure, powerful, and full of heart.

THIS IS LOVE. THIS IS AFRICA. THIS IS SERENGETI.
