After the farm visit, continue to a local home or cooking area where you will take part in a traditional cooking class. Guided by a local expert, learn how to prepare authentic Zanzibari dishes using fresh ingredients and spices from the farm. Discover cooking techniques, local recipes, and cultural traditions behind the food.

Once the cooking is complete, enjoy the meal you have prepared in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
