The Mamas of Zanzibar is a vibrant community initiative founded by a Zanzibari woman. The initiative empowers local women to create an income using their craft skills. You'll see a different side of Zanzibar on this full-day guided village tour which showcases local traditions and culture. Get set to be inspired when you meet some of the Mamas of Zanzibar, learning about their crafts and cuisine.
You'll stop in rural villages to get a feel for local life, including learning about what life's like for women in Zanzibar. You'll see how the goods they sell are made – from seaweed soaps and handwoven baskets to cosy rugs and stylish belts. And, if you fancy taking something home as a souvenir, you'll be supporting their work and helping their businesses grow.
Next up, you'll have lunch right in the heart of the village. There's a seriously tasty spread of traditional dishes on offer, packed with flavour and bold spices – Zanzibar is known as the Spice Island, after all.
