A taste of daily life

the experience

Set out with Lodi, your local guide, to taste the real Zanzibar - one hand-picked street vendor at a time. We start in a lively residential neighbourhood, far from the tourist restaurants, where families have cooked the same recipes for generations.

Between bites of charcoal-grilled mishkaki, tangy urojo and pilau slow-cooked with cinnamon, clove and cardamom, Lodi shares the stories behind each dish and how food shapes celebrations and everyday life on the island.

  • Wander the lived-in quarters around Stone Town

  • Taste mishkaki, urojo and spiced pilau from local stalls

  • Hear the stories behind each dish from the cooks

  • Eat where locals eat, far from the tourist restaurants

What you'll do

Every stop is a small family-run stall, so your walk goes straight to the cooks who keep Zanzibar's food culture alive.
