Great walking in the food market, with super session of Tanzania Cooking class

Published on Jun, 2025

We had an amazing time in Arusha with our guide Jack and super nice greetings and briefing of what is ahead of the experience that was prepared for us. The Arusha food market is amazing and super, and always smells of the fresh ingredients. The people in the markets are friendly, nicer and they are welcoming in kindness. Jack explained to us a lot and how they use it in Tanzania daily life the food that we found and after the market they drove us to the home where the lesson of cooking happened there. We met a chef who knows so much about Tanzania food, after the cooking class we stayed down and had lunch together. This is one of the experiences that will stay in our heart. Without hesitation for anyone who wants a local experience, this tour is the best option.

An Unforgettable Culinary Experience in Arusha with Israel

Published on Jun, 2025

Our cooking class in Arusha was truly one of the highlights of our time in Tanzania. The experience began with an eye-opening tour of the local food market, led by our guide, Israel, whose knowledge and passion for Tanzanian cuisine and culture were immediately apparent. He walked us through the vibrant market stalls, explaining the uses and significance of various local ingredients — from exotic fruits and spices to different types of grains and vegetables. It wasn’t just a walk-through; we interacted with local vendors, tasted some items, and learned how important food is to daily Tanzanian life. After the market tour, we headed to the cooking class, where everything we had just seen in the market came to life. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, and we got hands-on with preparing traditional dishes. With guidance from Israel and the cooking instructors, we learned step-by-step how to make classic Tanzanian recipes — from chopping and grinding spices to cooking over open flames. What stood out the most was how interactive and genuine the whole experience felt. We weren’t just observers; we were part of the kitchen, sharing stories, laughs, and of course, the food we made together. By the end of the day, we not only had a full stomach but also a deep appreciation for Tanzanian food culture. Israel’s insight and friendly nature made the day both educational and incredibly enjoyable. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Arusha — it’s more than a cooking class, it’s a cultural journey.
