One of a kind experience with a knowledgeable local woman - We had an absolutely incredible experience cooking with Nimoh on our first day in Nairobi! My husband and I both thought it was the perfect activity to introduce ourselves to Kenyan culture, cuisine, and the city. From riding on the local matatu bus to picking up ingredients in the local market, Nimoh was very attentive and friendly. Once in her home, she created such a comfortable and educational atmosphere. The cooking process was highly interactive and the food was delicious. This was such a special experience and a must do while visiting Nairobi!

Cooking, laughing and experiencing a bit of the real Kenya. - I joined this class as a solo and shared the experience with three other wonderful women from Nigeria. We shopped, laughed with locals at the market, rode public transportation to the market and to our host’s home AND cooked a lovely traditional Kenyan meal. This was the best cooking class I have attended in my travels and at home. It was so much fun!

Must do!!! - This experience was wonderful - the cooking class was great (as was the food!) but the best part for me was being out and about in Nairobi. The market tour, taking the bus, walking around a neighborhood - these are all wonderful experiences I wouldn’t have had.

More than just a cooking class! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Outstanding! One of my most memorable times in Nairobi. Nimoh is a beautiful person and everyone loves her. She takes you on a spectacular experience jumping on two public buses, an intimate market tour and ends with sharing a delicious home cooked meal in her own home. She shared so much about the Kenyan culture and traditions. Very inspirational Lady with a permanent smile and a great story. Food was delicious!

Fantastic experience in Nairobi - We had a fantastic cooking day tour in Kenya, thanks to Wairimu’s wonderful hospitality. The tour included shopping at a local traditional market, exploring Nairobi, and learning impressive Kenyan culinary skills. Riding a matatu was a unique and challenging experience that most foreign tourists don’t get to try, adding an authentic touch to our adventure. We felt safe with her by our side throughout the entire tour. We highly recommend this cooking day tour to anyone looking to immerse themselves in Kenyan culture. 我們在肯亞的cooking day tour非常棒,感謝Wairimu的熱情招待。包括在當地傳統菜市場購物、奈洛比市區,以及令人印象深刻的肯亞烹飪技巧。乘坐matatu也是一次身為外國遊客非常難忘的挑戰,讓我們真正體驗了當地的生活方式。整個旅程中,我們在她的身邊感到非常安全。 強烈推薦這個day tour給想要希望深入了解肯亞文化的人。

Amazing Cooking Tour in Nairobi - My cooking tour in Nairobi was amazing! We started with a visit to a lively local market where our guide introduced us to fresh, local ingredients. Then, we had a fun and informative cooking class with a skilled chef, making delicious traditional dishes. We even experienced a ride on a local matatu bus, which was exciting and gave us a taste of everyday life in Nairobi. I highly recommend this tour!
