Following the cultural walk, guests will enjoy a freshly prepared traditional meal, cooked by local village hosts using authentic ingredients and cooking techniques. Meals are typically prepared over open fire using traditional pots and methods that have been passed down through generations.

This is not simply a meal it is a cultural experience shared with the community.
