Truly an amazing experience of life. Just living and cooking simple. Really makes you want to quit your job and just move to the village and just live!

What a fabulous day! We were welcomed into a village house, given baskets to take to the market to buy our food and given a tour of the village, its plants and remedies. We chopped coconuts, made coconut milk, a delicious vegetable stew and mouthwatering breads! The Village mommas taught us how to weave baskets and make jewellery and the wonderful Afida taught us their local game (and I’m sure she let us win!) it was very strategic! We finished our day with a beautiful meal of freshly caught barracuda, calamari and our vegetable stew with breads, rice and chips alongside some fresh pineapple and avocado juice, which was delicious. A truly unforgettable day, thank you so much to Afida and her village for making it so enjoyable and making us feel so welcome.

The whole experience was amazing from start to finish. Our guide was delightful and gave us a full insight into village life. We had a full village experience - choosing ingredients, then being taught how to cook them. The Flora mamas then showed us how to make local crafts. We then finished with a delicious lunch of our curry with fresh fish caught again by the Flora mamas.

I would love to see more people try this experience. this cultural environment along with a lessons on its history. Not to mention the people in the community and staff is more than worth it. Im happy to have had a private session which made it more intimate with my loved one. We walked and bought fresh veggies from the market, walked through the fresh spices, fruits and vegetable gardens, danced with the band lol, cooked a WONDERFUL dish met the community mothers made bracelets, and to tip it off.. I had a huge meal. This was way more than what I expected and encourage you to experience what I experienced i promise you wont be disappointed. Asante Sana! Akunamatada

If you really want to immerse yourself in a true cultural experience then I would highly recommend the Flora Zanzibar experience. You get to spend time with the community, walk through the village and learn to create tasty dishes from the mamas of the village as well as get in touch with your creative side.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Flora Experience – Zanzibar We recently visited The Flora Experience to learn more about what guests can expect, and it is truly one of Zanzibar’s most unique and meaningful cultural activities. Guests are guided through traditional Swahili cooking, enjoy the dishes they prepare, and even have the option to buy the same ingredients to recreate the meals at home. They’re also dressed in beautiful traditional clothing, which they get to take with them at the end of the experience — along with a handmade Zanzibar woven bag. The experience includes a visit to Unguja Ukuu, the first settlement in Zanzibar, where guests meet the Flora Mamas who create stunning beadwork, crafts, and woven pieces. Visitors can join in the craft-making and take their creations home, while also contributing to community upliftment and local philanthropy. If you’re looking for an authentic, hands-on cultural experience that supports local women and connects you to the heart of Zanzibar, The Flora Experience is an incredible choice.
