• Moshi - 1. Village Welcome & Garden Tour
  Begin the journey with a warm reception at a traditional Chagga village located at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The tour starts in the organic “Shamba” (farm), where participants will discover local crops and hand-pick fresh ingredients for their meal, including green bananas, local spinach, and spices.

2. Traditional Wood-Fire Cooking
   Get ready to cook! Under the guidance of a local mama, participants will learn to peel, chop, and prepare authentic dishes using traditional techniques. Cooking over an open wood fire, they will master the art of the renowned “Machalari” (Chagga banana stew) or a savory Swahili Pilau.

3. The Feast
   After all the effort, it’s time to enjoy the fruits of labor. Participants will sit down with their hosts to savor the delicious meal they’ve prepared. This is an ideal opportunity to converse, learn about life on the mountain, and experience genuine Tanzanian hospitality.

4. Hand-Roasted Coffee Ceremony
   No Kilimanjaro meal is complete without coffee. Participants will engage in the entire process: pounding the dried beans, roasting them over the fire, and finally relishing the freshest cup of organic Arabica coffee they’ve ever tasted.
