Amazing experience

Published on Mar, 2025

It was real Zambian wedding, no performance. People at the wedding thought I was Sarah's friend (the person who took me for this 'tour'). I loved that it was so authentic. She was very informative about everything, explained to me every step of what was happening, and gave a profound description of their local food. Sarah was always by me observing that everything is fine and was taking so good care of me. She has a very comfortable car and when meeting me at the hotel, prepared nice snacks and presented me with a traditional dress tailored for me individually. Everything was perfect. Thanx a lot!

Once in a Lifetime Experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

I agree with the event description that this is not a tour; you get the honor of witnessing a major life milestone in someone’s life & their family’s celebration! This is truly a once in a lifetime experience for people who enjoy unique cultural immersions. Purchasers of this experience should keep in mind that (1) staying flexible is necessary; the culture has a relaxed relationship with time, & events will unfold when the family is ready, & (2) since each event is with a different family & in a different home, you may not have an unobstructed view of events. My opinion was that this added to the authenticity. The family that invited us to join were very welcoming & we cannot thank them enough for such a wonderful experience!

This wedding attendance...

This wedding attendance tour was truly wonderful. You can experience Zambian culture, including their dances and cuisine. You can participate wearing traditional Zambian attire, which is also amazing. Our guide, Sarah, is a supportive and lovely woman. The atmosphere was incredibly welcoming, and we felt like a part of the community. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to immerse themselves in authentic Zambian traditions.

Immersion into Zambian Culture

Published on Sep, 2023

This was the start of our awesome trip to Zambia. Our tight schedule meant we could only attend the cultural event on the day of our arrival. Our tour operators, Sarah and Patrick picked us from the airport and drove us to the event, with a quick stop to change into our traditional attire, which Sarah had gotten custom tailored for us beforehand. Right from the pickup, we felt the warmth and hospitality come through, and we kept getting educated on some of local aspects of country we were visiting. The ceremony itself was amazing. First the tradition is something to cherish. To see the whole ceremony from a privileged seat was indeed an honor. And the family was so welcoming. Right from groom to each member of the family ensured we were comfortable and well taken care of. Everyone, including Sarah and Patrick, took time to explain us the traditions, and the details of the ceremony. And the food... so good. There was so much that if we had tried to sample all the dishes, we would have needed two days. This was not commercial food... but authentic Zambian dishes cooked by the brides family and lets just say the cooking was done to impress the groom. Among the best we ate in Zambia. This particular tour was a last-minute addition to our itinerary, and we are super glad we did it. We were lucky to get an immersion in the culture and experience the rich traditions right on our first day. It was one of the highlights of our awesome visit to One Nation, One Zambia.
