Country: Kenya
Duration:
04:30 hours
Description
Connect with Nairobi’s green movement through a hands-on urban farm tour and traditional Kenyan cooking session.
Dive into Nairobi’s eco-conscious side with this authentic urban farm and food experience. Begin your morning with a guided tour of a thriving rooftop or backyard organic farm, where your host will introduce you to Nairobi’s sustainable agriculture scene. Learn how city dwellers are growing food using permaculture and vertical farming techniques.
You’ll handpick fresh vegetables, herbs, and indigenous greens, then head to a shaded outdoor kitchen or farmhouse kitchen for a hands-on cooking class. Prepare a traditional Swahili or Kikuyu meal using clay pots, firewood stoves, or local utensils – just as generations before have done.
Once the meal is ready, sit down with your host to enjoy the feast, paired with fresh juice or herbal tea. You'll leave with a full stomach, a recipe card, and a deep appreciation for Kenya’s food heritage.
