A Taste of Culture & Local Lunch

The tour is a multisensory journey through the village and its fertile farmlands. Guided by a local expert, you will wander through lush banana plantations that grow over 30 different varieties, including the famous red bananas. You’ll visit a traditional brewery to see how the Chagga people make mbege (banana beer) and watch skilled Makonde artisans at work in their woodcarving workshops. The tour also visits local schools and markets where the community’s diversity is on full display. The highlight is a communal lunch prepared by "Local Mammas" in an open-air garden, where you sit with fellow travelers to share a feast of traditional dishes.
