Roll up your sleeves and step into the heart of Kenyan cuisine. This hands-on cooking experience invites you to learn the art of Koroga—a beloved tradition of preparing a hearty, flavourful meal over an open flame or in a communal pot. Guided by our expert chefs, you’ll select fresh ingredients, master traditional techniques, and savour the fruits of your labour alongside new friends. It’s food, story, and connection, served warm.
Roll up your sleeves and step into the heart of Kenyan cuisine. The Koroga—meaning “to stir” in Kiswahili—is more than a meal. It is a tradition. A gathering around a communal pot, the aroma of spices mingling with laughter, stories exchanged as generously as the food itself. This hands-on experience invites you to leave the role of guest and become a participant. Guided by our expert chefs, you will select fresh ingredients, master traditional techniques, and savour the fruits of your labour alongside new friends. It is food, story, and connection, served warm.

11:30 AM | Hands-On Cooking Return to the open-air kitchen or cooking station. Aprons on, sleeves rolled up. Under your chef’s patient guidance, you will:

1:00 PM | The Feast Sit down to the meal you have created. It is served family-style, meant for sharing. Your chef joins to answer final questions, share more stories, and toast your success. The food tastes different when you have had a hand in its making—deeper, more connected.
