Zanzibar: Home cooking class with local mama. This option is special for those who stay in Zanzibar town.

Cook authentic Swahili dishes with a local mama, learn traditional recipes, and enjoy a delicious homemade meal in a true Zanzibari home.
Step into the heart of Zanzibar’s culture and experience the island’s true spirit through food in this authentic home cooking class with a local mama. Your journey begins as you’re welcomed into a traditional Zanzibari home filled with warmth, smiles, and the rich aroma of local spices. The local mama, known for her hospitality and passion for cooking, will guide you step by step in preparing some of Zanzibar’s most beloved dishes — from flavorful pilau rice and coconut fish curry to soft chapati and sweet spiced tea.

Before the cooking begins, you may visit a nearby local market or spice garden to pick out fresh ingredients such as coconut, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom — learning how these world-famous spices give Swahili food its unforgettable taste. Back in the kitchen, you’ll learn traditional techniques passed down through generations: grinding spices by hand, pressing fresh coconut milk, and balancing flavors the Zanzibari way.

As you cook, your host will share fascinating stories about family traditions, daily island life, and the role of food in Zanzibari celebrations. You’ll laugh, taste, and connect through every step of the experience — feeling like part of the family. After preparing your dishes, sit down to enjoy the meal together, served with love in a cozy home setting.
This experience is more than just a cooking class — it’s a cultural journey into the heart of Zanzibar, where every flavor tells a story and every smile welcomes you into the island’s soul. Whether you’re a food lover, a curious traveler, or someone who simply wants to connect with locals in a meaningful way, this tour promises memories — and flavors — that will stay with you forever.
