Mombasa: Old Town Walking Tour & Cooking Class

Discover the flavors of Kenya on a walking tour of Old Town Mombasa and a cooking class in Bamburi. Sample Swahili snacks, learn about the spice trade, and cook a traditional meal.
Begin your day in Old Town, Mombasa’s most historic quarter, famous for its Swahili architecture, carved doors, and centuries-old spice trade. With your local guide, stroll through the narrow streets and vibrant markets, stopping to sample Swahili snacks such as mandazi, viazi karai, and chai ya tangawizi (ginger tea).

As you walk, your guide will share fascinating stories about Mombasa’s culture, Arab influence, and the role of spices in everyday cooking. You’ll also visit spice and food stalls, learning how to choose the best ingredients for your dishes.

After the walking tour, travel comfortably to Bamburi, a quiet coastal area north of Mombasa, for your hands-on cooking class. Here, a friendly local chef will welcome you into a traditional open kitchen. You’ll prepare a full Kenyan meal featuring classic dishes such as ugali, sukuma wiki, nyama choma, kachumbari, chapati, and chai ya tangawizi.

During the class, your host will teach you traditional cooking methods, share family recipes, and explain how each dish reflects Kenya’s regional diversity. Finally, sit down together to enjoy the delicious meal you prepared, surrounded by the coastal breeze and warm hospitality. You’ll receive a recipe booklet and participation certificate to remember your experience.
