We booked the Spice Tour in advance via WhatsApp, and everything was smooth and well-organized. Our guide, Bilal, was incredibly patient and knowledgeable. He walked us through many different types of spices grown on their farm, explaining each one in detail and letting us smell and taste them along the way. At the end of the tour, they also offered a selection of fresh, organic local fruits for free, which was a lovely touch, absolutely worth experiencing!

Bilal is amazing. He is very welcoming and kind, and showed us around in the spice farm. Afterwards, we cooked together with 2 women in the village and had a wonderfull time. They were very hospitable. We really had a nice time. Thank you for everything! Asante sana!

Today we visited for the village tour, spice tour and cooking class. The whole day was a once in a lifetime experience. If you can afford to please bring some supplies for the local people. I wish I knew to bring some more things beforehand (although it is not expected).The spice tour was interesting and I learned some new things. The village tour was fantastic. The cooking class was great and the food was AMAZING. They altered the food to a vegan recipe. Everyone was very welcoming and friendly. Thank you for this opportunity and welcoming us to your village.
