Cooking Classes

Cook alongside a local Zanzibari host in their own kitchen, learning the Swahili dishes and spices that define the island's flavor. More than a lesson, it's an afternoon of stories, technique, and tradition — shared over the meal you help create. Hosted at Marco African's Food Restaurant, offered Mondays and Thursdays from 4–6 PM for individuals and small groups of up to four.

Individual (1): $65 · Small group (2–3): $55 per person · Small group (4): $45 per person

Menu: Dishes may include Pilau, Biryani, chapati with beans, and Zanzibar soup with greens — depending on availability and season.
