Mbeya Traditional Cooking class

First, we use the terms cooking vacation and culinary tour pretty interchangeably – meaning tours for people who think food is one of the key components of a trip, and who want to learn more about the local culture, people, and gastronomy through sharing intimate and fun cooking experiences and foodie and cultural tours.

Our itineraries generally last between 3 and 7 nights and include accommodations, hands-on cooking classes, gastronomic excursions, cultural tours, wonderful food and drink, and more. We also offer custom trips, “short stops,” one-day classes a la carte, and longer stays. For more on what is included, please refer to the Trip Details section of each cooking vacation. Don’t see anything that suits you? Just give us a call or send us an email.

You can always call or email us and we’d be happy to make suggestions.

The minimum is usually 2 (sometimes even 1) – our trips are small and intimate! The maximum depends on the size of the kitchen. A large, specially designed teaching kitchen might be able to handle 12-14 people, but not more (unless we’ve arranged a special itinerary for a self-formed group). If you know you want to be part of a larger group, give us a call and we’ll point you in the right direction. Want something for just the two of you? We can cover that too.

Some of our travelers book over a year in advance. Some booking only a week or so in advance! If you have definitely decided on your dates and your trip, you should confirm as soon as you know. Some of our itineraries sell out well in advance.
