Description

Embark on a guided food tour through bustling streets and markets, sampling a variety of authentic Tanzanian snacks and street foods. Discover hidden gems and learn about the history and significance of these dishes while supporting local vendors who are the backbone of Tanzanian culinary heritage. Visit a lively local market to source fresh ingredients for your cooking class. Explore colorful stalls filled with seasonal produce, aromatic spices, and traditional staples. Meet the friendly vendors who make this experience truly special. Roll up your sleeves and step into a local kitchen where you'll use traditional tools like the mbuzi (coconut scraper), ungo (sieve), and kinu (mortar and pestle) to prepare classic dishes like ugali, pilau, or chapati. The class is designed for everyone, from seasoned cooks to beginners, and you'll leave with recipes to try at home.

This immersive setup ensures you get an authentic taste of Tanzanian life.
