Overview
Food is the quickest way into a culture. At a home-hosted lunch you’re welcomed into a local family’s home to share a traditional Zimbabwean meal: sadza (the maize-meal staple), seasonal vegetables, relishes and perhaps kapenta, the small fish from Lake Kariba.
You’ll learn how dishes are made, eat the local way if you like, and spend unhurried time talking about family, work and life in Victoria Falls. It’s one of the most personal experiences you can have here.
