Incredible authentic opportunity - Ms Sophie made us feel truly welcome. She took us on a tour of her neighborhood and then into her home. We talked and laughed and learned and cooked and ate. It was a generous opportunity to understand life in Zambia.

Very welcoming, great experience! - Great alternative or addition to all the typical vic falls adventure. Sophia picked us up at the guesthouse and made us feel very welcome at her house. The cooking class was very well prepared, we learned a lot, had great fun and... were happy with the result as we enjoyed our lunch together. Sophia is very open to constructive feedback so we’re sure this experience will even further improve over time!
