We almost accidentally found the place on Google Maps and thanks to its good reviews we visited Flora. Still we were positively surprised! One can visit Flora for a stay, for cooking classes, for local tours, and even to dress like locals and go shopping at a local market. All these with an honest intention to dive into Zanzibar's mix of African, Arabic and Indian cultures. And some people visit Flora for all of that together. Us, we wanted to have lunch, which accidentally turned into two hours of storytelling over a bao board game, walk through a fruits garden and - obviously - snacks and lunch. While we were talking we asked for a typical Zanzibari rice (we heard about it on another occasion and it is rarely served in restaurants) so they made for us two of these from outside their typical menu. Afida, who was our guide told us not only about the cuisine and local customs, but we also chatted about the culture and history of the Zanzibar islands (there are two, but until the visit we thought the Unguja was the Zanzibar, while it is one of a few).

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

I have sent several of my guest to Flora Zanzibar, and they all come back to me with amazing reviews. One of the best experience on the Island.

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.
