Traditional weaving & pottery - What a beautiful cultural and enriching experience. We did the weaving/pottery as a group and it was incredible. The masters really take their time to explain and help you with the help of a translator. You can tell these are really passionate people. The scenery of the location is also very pretty. I recommend these activities to everyone !

Way more fun than you'd think... And I thought it would be pretty fun! - Basket weaving.... Who knew?! Crazy fun time at chill coffee shop with great drinks and food (may not always be at the same place 🤷)... There were 6 of us and we had the best time! Lots of hands on instruction and Sandrine and her assistant were amazing!

Traditional Basket Weaving - We really enjoyed the Traditional Basket Weaving workshop. Sandrine was an excellent instructor. She was very patient and helpful with our efforts. The time went by quickly and we liked that we were set up outside under a shady tree. The experience gave us a greater appreciation of all the skill and work that goes into basket weaving.

Recommended if you have a spare half day in Kigali! - Very nice couple of hours spent making baskets, it made us appreciate how hard this craft is and the labour behind the beautiful products that can be bought in Rwanda. Super easy communication and flexible planning. If you have a spare morning in Kigali, I would highly recommend!

Lovely basket weaving - Sandra was really nice and very kind. She was really patient and I enjoyed the activity a lot. I like that the majority of the money I paid goes to Sandra, it’s super nice to be able to support local artisans this way.

Family activity - I did this activity with my mom during her visit in Rwanda. It was perfect, she really liked it, felt the immersion in the culture and took her tiny basket home.
