GOOD TO KNOW
EAT YOUR WAY THROUGH ARUSHA
01 / START AT THE MARKET
Where the Ingredients Begin.
Walk through a local market and discover the produce, spices and ingredients that find their way into Tanzanian kitchens.
It’s colourful, busy and wonderfully everyday.
02 / TASTE THE STREETS
Small Bites. Big Introduction.
Stop along the way to sample selected snacks and street-food favourites.
Depending on the day’s route and availability, tastings can introduce you to everything from freshly prepared snacks to grilled favourites and seasonal produce.
03 / SOMETHING FROM THE GRILL
Follow the Smoke.
Few things announce themselves quite like a charcoal grill.
Try selected grilled favourites such as mishkaki and discover a side of Tanzanian food culture that’s simple, social and best enjoyed without too much ceremony.
04 / SIT DOWN & EAT LOCAL
A Little More Than a Snack.
Depending on the chosen experience, stop at a local food spot for a more substantial taste of Tanzanian cooking.
This is the moment to slow down, ask questions and discover the dishes beyond the safari-lodge buffet.
05 / SOMETHING SWEET OR A FINAL SIP
One Last Taste.
Finish with a final local treat or drink before heading back, pleasantly full and probably with a few new favourites.
GOOD TO KNOW
WHAT IF I HAVE DIETARY REQUIREMENTS?
Tell us before the tour so we can advise what can reasonably be accommodated.
IS THE FOOD SPICY?
Not everything is spicy. Your guide can explain dishes and condiments before you try them.
SHOULD I EAT BEFORE THE TOUR?
We wouldn’t recommend arriving immediately after a three-course lunch. There will be things worth tasting.
CAN I COMBINE THIS WITH THE ARUSHA CITY TOUR?
Yes. The food experience can work naturally alongside a broader city and market experience.
You Can Learn a Lot About a Place Around the Table
Markets tell one story. Streets tell another.
Food lets you taste both.
