What you can expect

  • We invite you to embark on an authentic journey through the heart and soul of
    our enchanting Village Concept in Tujereng. In 2008, we became the first to offer a home-cooking workshop in The Gambia, and we have worked in the tourism sector since 1989.

    What Awaits You:
    Arrival at the village: Immerse yourself in a vibrant culinary experience that
    begins with a warm welcome. Then dress up in a beautiful
    African attire. Capture the moment with a photoshoot and enjoy refreshing
    welcoming drinks.

    Action in the kitchen: Get hands-on in the kitchen as you prepare a traditional
    Gambian dish. Learn basic Gambian language words and go around the garden to
    pick fresh and organic vegetables to start cooking. Engage in playful Gambian games while still cooking, there is also a local market if you want to buy gifts.
    Join a meaningful women’s talk with Aïcha, discussing the importance of women in
    Gambian society, and enjoy a lively questions & answers session.

    Lunch time: Enjoy your delicious meal in a typical cultural setting. Join us for a
    dance session to enhance digestion.

    Depart: Finally, change back to your outfit and bid farewell, taking with
    you unforgettable memories and a deeper understanding of Gambian culture.

    It is an utmost pleasure to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of
    our guests. We look forward to sharing our passion for food, nature and culture
    with you. Kay boka! Come join us!
