This interactive 3-day culinary adventure brings you straight into the heart of Rwandan kitchens. In Musanze, learn to cook side-by-side with local chefs, shop for ingredients at village markets, and discover the deep connection between food, culture, and storytelling.
Arrive in Musanze and check into a scenic eco-lodge. Begin with a welcome dinner of Rwandan favorites like igisafuriya and ibirayi. Discuss the history of local food with your guide while enjoying a banana beer or fresh hibiscus tea.
Walk to a village market with your host chef and shop for fresh ingredients. Back at the cooking center, join a step-by-step traditional class to prepare a three-course Rwandan meal. Try dishes such as isombe, plantain stew, and a flavorful groundnut sauce. Enjoy the meal together and receive a printed set of recipes to take home.
Join a shorter morning session focused on traditional snacks, peanut cookies, sorghum pancakes, and banana juice. Share a tasting with your hosts and take a family photo before departing for Kigali.
