Activity itinerary

Discover the heart and soul of Diani Beach through its culinary traditions with our Special Dinner with a Local experience. Your journey begins with a pick-up from the Naivas Supermarket Mall, where we'll embark on a fascinating excursion to the local market in Ukunda. Together, we'll handpick the freshest ingredients for our traditional Kenyan dish, engaging with the friendly locals and soaking up the vibrant atmosphere of the village streets along the way. After our market adventure, we'll return to the host's home, either walking through the village or opting for a convenient tuk-tuk ride, depending on your preference. In the warmth of the kitchen, you'll learn the secrets of Kenyan cooking as we prepare the selected dish. Whether you're a culinary novice or an experienced chef, this hands-on experience offers something for everyone. Choose between two enticing options for your dinner package: the basic package includes a protein, carbohydrate, and vitamin, while the big package offers an expanded selection to tantalise your taste buds. After the cooking session, we'll gather around the table to enjoy the delicious flavours and sharing stories with our gracious host.
